    BREAKING UP USED TO BE SIMPLE. 
    In 1996, you just asked for your CDs back. Now, in 2025, you're begging your ex to delete that picture of your b*tthole. Welcome to modern breakups—where the pain is digital, the receipts are forever, and your ex is still watching your Instagram stories. 
    This book is for anyone who has ever: 
    ✔️ Sent a “just checking in” text at 2 AM and immediately regretted it. 
    ✔️ Seen their ex on a dating app three days after the breakup and momentarily blacked out. 
    ✔️ Considered a full-blown career change just to avoid running into them. 
    ✔️ Attempted to post a thirst trap but overthought the caption for five hours. 
    Sorry, but getting dumped has never been more complicated. From the social media warfare to the existential dread of realizing your ex is suddenly hotter, Sorry About That is the hilariously vicious guide to surviving heartbreak in the digital age. 
    Warning: This book will not help you grow. It will, however, make you feel slightly less pathetic while you stalk their LinkedIn page.

    An unofficial guide to Alien: Isolation, the greatest, scariest horror game ever made. 
     
    There aren’t many computer games that can justify an entire book, but for superfans, Alien: Isolation is truly extraordinary and Perfect Organism reveals all there is to know about every aspect of this masterful game. 
     
    Discover the rationale and authenticity of the set design and art direction, learn about the alien’s unnerving abilities to second-guess the players and the importance of its unique height, find out more about the importance of the dynamic audio and the use of seventies archive soundbites, as well as the darkly beautiful music. And immerse yourself in the technical brilliance of the level design and the user interface, before reading about the deleted content, and the scenes and features that never made the final cut. 
     
    Alien: Isolation is a game of remarkable depth, complexity, and detail, and together with a level-by-level mission guide, this audiobook will answer all of your questions, as well as many you haven’t yet thought to ask!
