The Absurdity of Hitman www.robhainescreative.space/writing/nonf...
A short essay, originally for @unwinnable.com, on how Hitman is dark comedy slapstick theatre masquerading as a serious espionage thriller, in a way marketing has never quite figured out how to capture.

For Having Been Broken www.robhainescreative.space/writing/fict...

Years of Experience www.robhainescreative.space/writing/fict...
The importance of setting reasonable expectations in the workplace...

Now I stand upon a foreign shore, the only sound the roar of fans and monstrous heatsinks..."

Your irregular reminder that all my fortnightly website promo posts will be tagged with #RobHainesCreativeSpace, so if you want to follow me but don't want to see these posts, simply mute the hashtag.
Self-promo is better with consent.
- Friday Nights in the Hostile Environment, an essay I wrote for Unwinnable about Not Tonight and the blind-spots of its satire of post-Brexit immigration policy.

Joining Bluesky gave me lots of thoughts about curation on the modern internet over the past week, and recalled this recent blog post exploring the topic.

Earlier this year I built myself a new website for my creative work, a single place where you can go to find all my writing and photography and blog posts.
Every now and then I post a fresh set of highlighted pieces; they'll each be tagged with #RobHainesCreativeSpace if you want to opt-out.
