title: Thomas Laidlaw (politician)

abstract: Thomas Laidlaw was a Scottish-born Australian politician. He was born at Melrose in Roxburghshire to merchant Alexander Laidlaw and Helen Cochrane. A banker, he migrated to New South Wales in 1839 and settled at Yass, where he became a partner in a general store. In 1841 he married Catherine Galvin, however she died the following year and they had no children. In 1859 he was elected unopposed to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Yass Plains, but immediately resigned as he realised his role as deputy postmaster at Yass, on a salary of £20 a year, was an office of profit under the crown which disqualified him from parliament. He resigned as postmaster and was re-elected unopposed. He declined the position of Colonial Treasurer in the second Cowper ministry. He did not re-contest in 1860 and could not be persuaded to stand for parliament again. He remained active in local politics, supporting the re-election of Robert Isaacs in 1866. He was nominated at the election in 1869, however this was without his consent as he supported the candidacy of Michael Fitzpatrick. In 1866 he sold his store, which had now expanded to include brewery and post office, and became a pastoralist. Laidlaw died at Yass on 12 June 1876 (aged 62).

# The Dead Channel Trilogy

***The Dead Channel Trilogy*** (stylized as *deadchannel\_Trilogy*) is a trilogy of studio albums by American multi-genre project Blue Stahli, consisting of the project's seventh, eighth, and ninth albums (if including the instrumental *Antisleep* series). The albums, titled *Quartz*, *Copper*, and *Obsidian*, were released on October 2, November 13, 2020, and January 15, 2021, respectively; the first independent releases in Blue Stahli's history.

## Background and promotion

*Obsidian* was written before *Quartz* and *Copper*, and it was originally planned to be a standalone album. On September 13, 2018, the single "Lakes of Flame" was initially released for the album. *Obsidian* was originally slated for a 2019 release with "Lakes of Flame" as the lead single, but due to legality issues with FiXT Music, it was later moved to 2021, with "Lakes of Flame" becoming a non-album single.

Eventually, *Quartz* and *Copper* were written and planned to be released in a trilogy alongside *Obsidian*. Blue Stahli founder Bret Autrey's inspiration for the albums came from caring for his terminally ill mother who died in 2018 from brain cancer. In her memory, Autrey used her piano to record many of the songs. Autrey has considered *Quartz* to be "just awash of '90s craziness". For the other two albums, "Copper achieves the melancholy, experimental soundscape, while Obsidian defines who he is after his mom's death."

Two singles from *Obsidian* were released to promote the album; "Catastrophe", released on January 13, 2021, two days before the album's release, and the title track, with a music video released on February 3, 2021.

# The Fable of Oscar

**The Fable of Oscar** is a fable proposed by John L. Pollock in his book *How to Build a Person* (ISBN 9780262161138) to defend the idea of token physicalism, agent materialism, and strong AI. It ultimately illustrates what is needed for an Artificial Intelligence to be built and why humans are just like intelligent machines.

## Fable

Once in a distant land there lived a race of Engineers. They have all their physical needs provided by the machines they have invented. One of the Engineers decide that he will create an "intelligent machine" that is much more ingenious than the more machines, in that it can actually sense, learn, and adapt to its environment as an intelligent animal.

### Oscar I

The first version of the machine is called "Oscar I". It has pain sensors and "fight-or-flight" responses build within to help it survive hostile environment. In this stage Oscar I is much like the machines Hilary Putnam considers in 1960.

### Oscar II

In order for Oscar I to avoid damages in hostile environment, it must not only be able to respond to its pain sensors but also predict what is likely to happen based on its generalization of its pain sensor activations. Therefore, a "pain sensor sensor" was built to sense its pain sensors, thus giving it a rudimentary self-awareness. In this stage Oscar I is much like an amoeba as Oscar II like a worm. Amoebas respond to pain while worms learn to avoid it.

### Oscar III

The problem with Oscar II is that it has no conception if the environment is fooling him. For example, he can't distinguish if a machine-eating tiger and a mirror image of such tiger. To solve such problem, "introspective sensors" were built into Oscar II and made him "Oscar III". Oscar III can now sense the operation of its own sensors and form generalization about its reliability, thus acquired a higher degree of self-awareness. In this stage Oscar II is much like a bird as Oscar III a kitten. Kittens quickly learn about mirror image and come to ignore them while birds go on attacking their own reflection until they become exhausted.

### Mind/Body Problem

Consider a world populated by Oscarites. If the Oscarites are sufficiently intelligent, it can philosophizing the difference between their outward physical state and inward mental state. While we, from our perspective, describe the Oscarites as sensing the operation of their perceptual sensors, they describe it as they are "being self-aware and being conscious".

### Conclusion

In the end of the fable Pollock states that while the Engineers are fictional, Oscar is real and we are in fact the Oscarites.


title: The Dingo Principle

abstract: The Dingo Principle is an Australian satirical comedy series created by Patrick Cook and Phillip Scott which was produced and broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in 1987.

text:
# The Dingo Principle

***The Dingo Principle*** is an Australian satirical comedy series created by Patrick Cook and Phillip Scott which was produced and broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in 1987.

## Cast

## Production

Only ten episodes were made and shown in a late night time-slot. Cook, Scott, and Kelso had also written and performed in an earlier satirical program, *The Gillies Report*, but Cook stressed that the only similarities between the shows was that they "were both about current affairs and were both on the ABC". The program was recorded in front of a live audience on Saturday nights, and broadcast on Monday nights.

## Controversy

The program is remembered for causing several diplomatic incidents. On 20 April 1987, the program performed a mock interview with the Ayatollah Khomeini, resulting in two Australian diplomats being expelled from Tehran and threats of trade sanctions from Iran. Two weeks later, when the program lampooned Mikhail Gorbachev and Vladimir Lenin, the press attaché of the Soviet Embassy in Canberra wrote a letter of rebuke to the managing director of the ABC, David Hill:

> It is tragic that such irresponsible slander of the Soviet policy, history, culture and traditions can be broadcast under the pretext of the freedom of the press. ... Camouflaged as a 'satricial skit', this program in very poor taste ridiculed contemporary Soviet leaders and even lampooned the founder of the Soviet state, Vladimir Lenin, whose name is cherished by millions of people all over the world, including Australia.
>
> Nicolas Fomin, Letter to ABC Managing Director, David Hill

The letter also hinted that the ABC's proposed Moscow bureau could be jeopardised by the sketch.

These incidents were raised in the Parliament of Australia on 11 May 1987, when National Party MP John Sharp questioned the Minister for Communications Michael Duffy about the effect of the show on Australia's economy and trade relationships. Duffy stressed the independence of the ABC, and stated it would be inappropriate for him, his department, or the Australian government to intervene in ABC programming decisions.

# The Diary of Anne Frank (radio play)

***Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl*** is an original radio play by author Meyer Levin (1905–1981). It was adapted from Levin's original stage dramatization of the same name, adapted from *The Diary of a Young Girl*, Anne Frank's 1942-1944 diary that was posthumously published in 1947. It aired on CBS on September 18, 1952, the eve of Rosh Hashanah, to critical acclaim, and again in November 1952.

## Meyer Levin

Author Meyer Levin was born in 1905 to Jewish immigrants in Chicago. He began a journalism career at the age of 16 when he started reporting for the *Chicago Daily News*. In 1943 Levin was based in London as a war correspondent. He followed the stories of American Jewish soldiers and Germany's genocidal campaign. Levin was one of the first American journalists to enter a work camp, Ohrdruf, then Bergen-Belsen, Dachau, and more. He suffered tremendous guilt as witness to the atrocities and wrote of his inability to tell the story of the Jews of Europe. That changed when he encountered *The Diary of Anne Frank*, the first personal diary to emerge from the war. Levin wrote to Otto Frank and met with him before leaving Europe, inquiring into the American publication and dramatic rights. He was the first to see the dramatic potential of the Diary.

## The reappearance

Producer Jennifer Strome discovered the radio play script in 1999 while researching Levin's life story. She met a member of Levin's family and was captivated by Levin's history with the *Diary of Anne Frank* stage play. She contacted Levin's son Mikael Levin who introduced her to his mother, French author Tereska Torrès, and to Levin's vast collection of books and films.

With permission from Torres, Strome began her research in earnest at the Howard Gotleib Archival Research Center of rare book and manuscript collections at Boston University. More than 50 boxes of personal letters, trial transcripts, and articles belonging to Meyer Levin were made available. It was there that she came across Levin's original, annotated script for the Radio Play, a document Levin's family had never seen. It is a historical piece of literature that had fallen into obscurity after what appeared as a controversy between Levin and Otto Frank.

Strome's effort to restore Levin's radio play as part of Anne Frank's legacy of dramatic adaptations resulted in a North American Educational Initiative, annefrankunites.org Archived 2013-07-10 at the Wayback Machine, as a contribution to the fight against intolerance. Strome was authorized by the Anne Frank Fonds, Basel Switzerland (AnneFrank.ch) to provide the materials with Limited Use July 15, 2013 – 2015.

## 2009 live performance

On September 14, 2009, Strome produced a private, live performance of Levin's radio play at the Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in NYC. It was the first time the play was heard since its original air date in 1952.

"**The Dripping Tap**" is a song by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, released in 2022 as the lead single from their twentieth studio album, *Omnium Gatherum*. Over 18 minutes in length, the song was first composed during studio sessions for *Fishing for Fishies* and re-recorded with all band members present following a period of remote collaboration during COVID-19 lockdowns.

## Recording

While the song was first released on *Omnium Gatherum*, an early version of the song was first played during the *Fishing for Fishies* sessions, the song would be scrapped until after COVID-19 lockdowns were lifted, when the song was re-recorded and finished with all band members present. The band recorded an extended jam and then edited the best segments into the completed song.

## Composition

The song is over 18 minutes in length. *Guitar World* described it as featuring "drop D, Mixolydian guitar madness set to an irresistible motorik beat (complete with wailing harmonica)". *Stereogum* described it as "a kosmische rave-up punctuated by soulful outbursts worthy of Hall & Oates" inspired by Krautrock groups such as Can.

## Critical reception

Abby Jones of *Consequence* stated that "The Dripping Tap" "exemplifies that renewed sense of inspiration King Gizzard felt upon returning to the studio."

The film featured only unnamed characters, and follows a getaway driver for robberies whose exceptional talent has prevented him being caught. A detective promises pardons to a gang if they help catch him in a set-up robbery.

20th Century Fox released *The Driver* on July 28, 1978. The film was a box office disappointment in the United States but performed better overseas. Despite initial negative reviews it has become one of Hill's most popular films, and received more positive critical reception in later years. Directors Quentin Tarantino, Nicolas Winding Refn and Edgar Wright have cited *The Driver* as a major influence.

## Plot

The Driver steals cars for use as getaway vehicles in robberies around Los Angeles. He is known among criminals for his high skill and his high price, and is notorious among the police, particularly for The Detective who is obsessed with capturing The Driver whom he calls "Cowboy".

The Driver pulls a job at a casino where his co-conspirators are late and he is seen by The Player. The Detective asks her to identify The Driver, but she denies seeing him. The Driver comes to The Player's apartment to pay her. They are interrupted by The Detective, who threatens The Player and alludes to her criminal history.

The Detective sets up an illegal sting. He offers three arrested criminals – Glasses, Teeth and their driver, Fingers – a deal: hire The Driver for a bank heist and deliver him to the police; in return, they will go free. They seek The Driver via The Connection, his middleman and fence. The Driver initially refuses to work with the men due to his dislike of guns, but agrees to meet with them. When his driving skill is questioned, he systematically wrecks the criminals' car in a display of his prowess, and tells the gang he will not work with them. Later, Teeth visits The Driver to ask him again to join them, eventually threatening him with a gun. The Driver challenges Teeth to shoot, before beating him down. The Detective taunts The Driver at his rented room and challenges him to a 'game'. Despite being aware it is a set up, The Driver agrees to take part in the job on the conditions that his fee is doubled and Teeth is not involved.

During the heist, Glasses kills Fingers and escapes with The Driver. He does not deliver The Driver to The Detective, instead planning to kill him and make off with the money. The Driver surprises him with a gun, kills him, and stashes the money in a locker at Union Station. He has The Connection launder the dirty money and enlists The Player to retrieve it once clean. Meanwhile, Teeth has discovered Glasses dead and interrogates The Connection at gunpoint, killing her once she has revealed The Driver's plans.

At the train station, The Exchange Man stashes the clean money in a locker, then boards a train with the dirty money. He is followed on board by The Detective, who kills him in a shootout. Teeth robs The Player of her purse containing the key to the clean money locker. Teeth and his driver, The Kid, are pursued by The Driver and The Player in a car chase culminating in a warehouse, where The Driver drives directly at Teeth's car, causing them to swerve and flip the car. The Driver kills Teeth when he refuses to surrender. The Kid returns the purse and is allowed to leave.

The Driver and The Player return to the train station. When The Driver retrieves the bag from the locker, The Detective and several police officers appear, but the bag is empty, the money having been ripped off by the Exchange Man. The Player leaves. The Driver leaves The Detective literally 'holding the bag' as each person departs.

## Cast

## Production

### Development

*The Driver* is the second film Walter Hill wrote and directed after *Hard Times* (1975), which starred Charles Bronson. Hill and producer Larry Gordon had just finished *Hard Times* when Gordon suggested to Hill that they make a film about a getaway driver, to which Hill agreed. Hill then wrote an original screenplay over the summer of 1975, in between the period when *Hard Times* was made and when it was released (there was a delay because the studio was waiting for other Bronson films to come out).

Hill says he was interested to see how "pure" a film he could make: a genre film that did not conform itself in conventional, Hollywood ways. He said he wrote it as a "very tight script." "I knew when I was getting ready to do the movie that I was taking a chance", said Hill. "This was not meant to be an everyday action movie. I was trying to do something a little more, or a little less, but I was trying to do something else." The script was written in a sparse, minimalist style, which Hill had first employed on *Hard Times*: "I thought that approach made people read with greater intention. It's spare in detail but written to dramatic effect. You could maybe capture the mind of the reader a little better." Hill sent a copy of the original draft of the script to director Raoul Walsh, who gave it his approval.

### Pre-production

In the late 1970s, Britain's EMI Films came under the stewardship of Michael Deeley and Barry Spikings. They began co-financing movies shot in Hollywood in association with major US studios that were aimed at the international market, such as *Convoy*, *The Deer Hunter* and *The Driver*. They were interested in financing *The Driver* provided a suitable star could be found for the lead.

According to Hill, the script was unable to bring in talents for "about a year and a half." The role of the Driver was originally intended for Steve McQueen, who had starred in the Hill-scripted *The Getaway* (1972). McQueen turned down the role because, as Hill stated, he refused to star in another film that revolved substantially around cars. The studio then went to Bronson, but he was unhappy with Hill. "He thought I had edited *Hard Times* in a way that had not favoured \[Bronson's wife and co-star\] Jill Ireland", said Hill, who added he "never thought" casting Bronson "was a good idea. And I never thought he'd do it." Hill was contacted by Ryan O'Neal's agent and agreed to meet the star. "We talked about the role and talked about the minimalist approach I wanted to try", said Hill. "He felt he could do it and we just got comfortable with each other." Although considered primarily a comedy and romantic star at the time, O'Neal's casting enabled the filmmakers to secure financing. O'Neal complimented the filmmaker as "a force to be reckoned with", as well as "a first rate writer and an even better director. And he's fast. Most young directors today think they are David Lean; they spend over a year on a film and we get robots that talk."

Several actors were considered for the female lead, including Julie Christie and Charlotte Rampling. Eventually, it went to Isabelle Adjani, who had gained an international reputation with *The Story of Adele H* (1975). This was Adjani's first Hollywood role; she had previously turned down the chance to star in *The Other Side of Midnight* (1977), but agreed to make *The Driver* because she was an admirer of *Hard Times*. Of Hill, Adjani commented:

> I think he is wonderful, very much in the tradition of Howard Hawks, lean and spare. The story is contemporary but also very stylized, and the roles that Ryan and I play are like Bogart and Bacall. We are both gamblers in our souls and we do not show our emotions or say a lot. For us, talk is cheap. I am really quite a mysterious girl in this film, with no name and no background. And I must say that it is restful not to have a life behind me; this way, I don't have to dig deep to play the part. All I know is that life for me is gambling and I am a loser. I have what people call a poker face.

The studio recommended Robert Mitchum for the role of the Detective. Hill liked the idea and met with Mitchum to discuss the part but the actor turned it down. Hill ended up casting Bruce Dern. "I wanted Bruce's personality", he said. "Audiences get nervous about movies that don't have a lot of dialogue. \[...\] They like a balance. I wanted Bruce to very much offset the distance of The Driver."

### Filming

The film featured several car chase sequences designed by Hill and stunt coordinator Everett Creach. Hill says he felt the first chase was "kind of a failure" because it "was meant to lead up to a much more spectacular finish" but he was unable to film it properly: it was done on the last night of shooting and an electrician fell off the roof and was badly injured; Hill could not get all the shots he wanted and had to "cobble together" the end result. However, he felt the sequence with the Mercedes 250 S in the garage and the final chase were "as fully realised as I could get them to be." Hill wanted to film chase scenes at night, which he felt had not been done many times in films before. In order to expedite this, Hill shot the dramatic scenes first during the day, then the chase scenes at night. Hill said the night shooting was draining: "It's like you're swimming underwater or hypnotised. And I'm a person that stays up late and wakes up early. But staying up night after night after night really threw me out. You make decisions you cannot explain. You just intuit."

Hill says the major visual influence on the film was the works of artist Edward Hopper. He was also influenced by his work as a second assistant director on *Bullitt* (1968), which featured a famous car chase. What fascinated Hill on *Bullitt* was the abundance of shots captured from inside the cars, which compelled him to film the same amount on *The Driver*. Production wrapped on the film April 1978.

## Reception

### Critical

Contemporary reviews were extremely poor. Hill later said, "I remember the studio had this huge sheaf of Xeroxed reviews they’d handed me — you could stop a fucking .45 slug with this stack, it was so thick. And of all the reviews in this six-inch thick pile, there was only one good one."

Kevin Thomas of the *Los Angeles Times* called the film "ultraviolent trash that wipes out Ryan O'Neal, Bruce Dern and Isabella Adjani... plays like a bad imitation of a French gangster picture which in turn is a bad imitation of an American gangster picture." Vincent Canby of the *New York Times* wrote "It is Awful Movie. It is Pretentious Movie. It is Silly Movie. It talks just like this." Roger Ebert of the *Chicago Sun-Times* gave *The Driver* 2.5 stars out of 4, writing, "It's a movie about people who are not real because they are symbols, and it's a damned good thing there are great chase scenes or the movie would sink altogether." Hege. of *Variety* said it may be the first film where the star of the show is a sound effect and called it a "bleak wreck of a film" and that "because of the quiet and mysterious mood of this picture, it has a pretentious quality to it" although noted that the car chases are fabulous.

Saying it's "probably advisable for *film noir* aficionados only", film critic Duncan Shepherd of the *San Diego Reader* gave it five out of five stars. "The whole show, in fact, is something like a coded message passed from the moviemaker to the devotees of the genre, in full view of, but beyond the full understanding of, the rest of the audience", according to Shepherd.

As of December 2023, the film holds an approval rating of 79% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 29 reviews. The site's consensus states: "A tough, highly stylized thriller with amazing sound design and car chases."

### Box office

The movie was a commercial disappointment in the United States although it performed better overseas. Hill says "I don't think you could say the film did commercially well anywhere except Japan, where I believe it did reasonable business."

The film opened in 642 theatres in the United States, grossing $2 million for the weekend.

The film grossed a total of 1,102,183 admissions in France. It was the 33rd most popular film of the year.

Producer Larry Gordon later reflected on the film's poor critical and box office response in the US:

> If we'd had Clint Eastwood in the film, we'd have been forgiven everything and they'd have said, 'It's another Eastwood film about driving cars'." If we'd had Steve McQueen, we'd have been compared to *Bullitt* or *The Getaway*. We were treated as an art film rather than an action film. We took a unique approach to standard material. We'd go the same way again, but with a different cast we might have attracted an audience. I believe in returning investors' money – and if I could make *The Driver* again I'd try to rectify it for a commercial market. When you're writing this kind of script... naturally you think of an action lead like \[Charles\] Bronson or Eastwood... and certainly Fox wanted a name. But when we got Ryan, I suggested we make changes to suit his character. This is always the director's prerogative.

Isabelle Adjani later complained she felt the film hurt her career. "Afterwards the only American offers I got were bad ones", she said. "I did it, really because after *The Story of Adele H* everyone urged me to make a Hollywood film. I turned down several, and felt I couldn't continue to do that. And I liked Walter Hill. Only later did I realize I'd made a terrible mistake."

Walter Hill recalled, "Had I not been shooting *The Warriors* at the time, I don't think my career would have survived. They loved it overseas, but in those days, that didn't matter that much. It made exactly zero dollars in the United States.

"I think Ryan gave a very good performance", added Hill. "I was always very happy with what he did." He said, "I was very disappointed that people didn't particularly give him any credit for what he did. To me, he's the best he's ever been. I cannot imagine another actor. When you don't get who you want, sometimes you really do get lucky."

EMI Films had announced plans to make another film with Hill, a Western called *The Last Gun*, but this did not happen.

## Legacy

The film has gone on to become more popular, and it is often the first film shown during retrospectives of Hill's work.

The Reflections Interactive video game *Driver* (1999) uses several thematic inspirations from this movie.

Both Quentin Tarantino's *Pulp Fiction* (1994) and *Kill Bill: Volume 2* (2004) refer to this film: a shot and setup of Vincent Vega skidding out into the road with an overdosed Mia Wallace in the passenger seat in *Pulp Fiction* is copied from the opening chase of *The Driver*; and Beatrix Kiddo being described as "the cowgirl \[who\] ain't never been caught" in *Kill Bill: Volume 2* is copied from Ryan O'Neal's character description in *The Driver* as "the cowboy who could not be caught". According to Wensley Clarkson's book, *Tarantino – The Man, the Myths and His Movies*, Tarantino lists *The Driver* as one of the "coolest movies of all time."

The film also influenced *Drive* (2011), directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. "It's a very different movie", said Hill of this. "It has certain things, as Nic has told me, that are homage and that's fine. It's very complimentary. I bear him no animosity or anything. I think he's a remarkably talented guy and quite like him."

*Baby Driver* (2017), directed by Edgar Wright, was also influenced by *The Driver*. Wright commented on Hill's film: "Its influence on video games is very clear and in movies its style has echoed throughout the work of Michael Mann, James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino, Nicolas Refn and now me with my new film (ahem), *Baby Driver*."

## Unproduced remake

Around 1996, 20th Century Fox was developing a remake of the film to be directed by Luc Besson, who had already had huge success with films like *La Femme Nikita* and *Leon: The Professional* and was working on *The Fifth Element*. He worked on the script with screenwriter John Pogue, but it was not made.

# The Gambling Terror

***The Gambling Terror*** is a 1937 American Western film directed by Sam Newfield and starring Johnny Mack Brown, Iris Meredith and Charles King.

## Plot

A town is effectively terrorised by a protection racket with no one knowing who their leader is. Their only opposition is the editor of a local newspaper. When the editor's young son is caught listening to a pair to thugs victimizing a farmer, the thugs threaten to beat him to tell them what he heard. They are thwarted and beaten up by Jeff Hayes, a gambler who is passing through town. When they threaten retribution, he laughs in their faces, telling them that anyone who would horsewhip a child would not be too much for a *man* to worry about.

Gambling in the town saloon was stopped by the protection racket when they would not pay tribute. Jeff refuses to pay and gives the now frightened thugs a sample of his quick draw and expert marksmanship with his pair of six shooters. Jeff is cheered by the town, but despised because he is a gambler by the editor's daughter. The editor wants Jeff to join his vigilantes, but Jeff warns the editor that you do not fight bushwhackers by riding on the skyline.

Brett, the overseer of the thugs, proposes that as Jeff is a gambler, he would go for the most profit, in his case a large percentage of the proceeds of the operation. As insurance, the thugs kidnap the editor's son.

# The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists

***The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists*** (also known as ***The Game: Undercover in the Secret Society of Pickup Artists***) is a 2005 non-fiction book written by investigative reporter Neil Strauss as a chronicle of his journey and encounters in the seduction community.

The book was featured on *The New York Times* Bestseller List for two months after its release in September 2005, reaching prominence again in 2007 during the broadcast of the VH1 television series *The Pickup Artist,* which was hosted by Mystery, Strauss's mentor in the book. In its original published hardcover format, the book was covered in black leather and bookmarked with red satin, similar to some printings of the Bible. Despite the reputation that *The Game* has gained as an exposé on the seduction community, it was primarily written as an autobiographical work. The follow-up book, *Rules of the Game*, relies more on the how-to side of seduction and dating.

## Summary

Strauss stumbles across the community while working on an article. Intrigued by the subculture, he starts participating in the online discussion groups, mainly out of frustration with his own romantic life. As he becomes more and more involved in the romantic community, Strauss attends a bootcamp conducted by a man identified only as "Mystery". The bootcamp consists of Strauss and other participants approaching women, and then Mystery and his counterpart, Sinn, giving them corrective advice on their behaviors, body language, and what to say. Strauss learns habits that, as he sees it, are often basic—and should have been taught to him by society in the first place.

The book then narrates the journey of how Strauss goes through the stages of becoming a pickup artist (a description of the members of the community) and gains the pseudonym "Style". He befriends many of the pickup artists, particularly Mystery. A good deal of the book focuses on how to obtain the elusive upper hand, or just hand, in a relationship. Strauss advocates various methods, mostly from the point of view of heterosexual men. He offers further guidelines for the process of seduction, which include preparing things to say before going out and telling groups of women surreptitiously impressive stories. He also uses "false time constraints" (a reason that the conversation could end very soon) to put the woman of interest in a situation where she must convince the man she is interesting, discusses how to very slowly increase the amount of physical contact, and more.

Strauss tells the story of his success, the spreading of the romantic community itself, and his life at "Project Hollywood", a high-end mansion and a lifestyle plan shared by Strauss, Mystery, Playboy, Papa, Tyler Durden, Herbal, and other members of the seduction community. He details how rivalries and animosity between members of the community lead to Project Hollywood's collapse and documents the start of "Real Social Dynamics" led by Tyler Durden and Papa. By the end of his story, Strauss concludes that a life of nothing but picking up women is "for losers", and he advocates incorporating pickup artist methods into a more balanced life.

Strauss mentions his experiments with sleeping habits, personal grooming tips, and encounters with celebrities such as Scott Baio, Tom Cruise, Andy Dick, Paris Hilton, Courtney Love, Dennis Rodman, and Britney Spears.

## Reception

Neil Strauss was quoted in a review by Steven Poole in *The Guardian* as saying, "A side effect of sarging (socializing with the intent of finding and seducing a woman) is that it can lower one's opinion of the opposite sex", though the reviewer noted, "And yet, as he has described it, the inverse is true: a low opinion of the opposite sex is a prerequisite for sarging." Strauss was also quoted as saying, "The point was women; the result was men. Instead of models in bikinis lounging by the Project Hollywood pool all day, we had pimply teenagers, bespectacled businessmen, tubby students, lonely millionaires, struggling actors, frustrated taxi drivers, and computer programmers—lots of computer programmers." The reviewer remarked that "The sell is that, with the special techniques they learn from Mystery and other gurus, the ubergeeky can often give a convincing simulation of being a regular human being, even if, like one sarger in this book, they are in fact near-sociopaths."

Rafael Behr in *The Observer* wrote, "Some of the recommended techniques are sinister. One involves discreetly undermining a woman's self-esteem by paying her a backhanded compliment in the hope that she will hang around to seek your approval. This maneuver has its own name: 'the Neg'."

Malcolm Knox wrote, "I doubt he has anything helpful for anyone except those men whose emotional maturity stalled at age 15." He also wrote, "If the reader is too far ahead of the author, a book has a problem. On page 406, Mystery's mother says his problems are caused by his low self-esteem. Strauss reflects: 'Only a mother could reduce a person's entire ambition and raison d'être to the one basic insecurity fueling it all.' No. It's taken 406 pages for Strauss to realize what most readers will have got by page 10." He notes the failure of Project Hollywood and the fact that the book does not recognize the role of women in selecting partners. He also writes, "The other false advertisement is that Strauss has 'penetrated' a 'secret society' of geeks-turned-gurus including Mystery, his rival Ross Jeffries and renegade PUA (pickup artist) teachers nicknamed Papa and Tyler Durden. Yet when Strauss writes about them in *The New York Times*, they're thrilled."

Alexandra Jacobs wrote in *The New York Times* that Strauss "switched awkwardly between misogynistic comments and feeble attempts at self-awareness." She also notes that "he does come to perceive one curious thing about the PUA's: They seem far more interested in spending time with fellow PUA's, amassing, refining and discussing the game, than actually getting to know women. Call them SLB's (scared little boys)."

## Film adaptation

In 2006, Sony optioned the film rights, with comedy director Chris Weitz reported to be signing on to helm the project for Columbia Pictures. The film rights eventually shifted to Spyglass Entertainment, and as of 2011 the film is under development by MGM, with Brian Koppelman and David Levien rewriting a previous script by Dan Weiss. In 2016 James Franco was attached to produce the movie, and to play the role of Mystery.

## Other works

A companion to *The Game*, called *Rules of the Game*, by Neil Strauss, containing two parts, "The Stylelife Challenge" and "The Style Diaries", was released on December 18, 2007.

Neil Strauss published a follow-up autobiographical work, *The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships*, in 2015. The book was published in a similar format to *The Game*, and features a contrasting white imitation leather cover. Provisionally titled *Game Over*, it focuses on Strauss's difficulties with long-term relationships, following his immersion in pickup.

# Thomas Peterkin

**Thomas Alexander Peterkin** (1839 – 12 June 1926) was a British born New Zealand engineer and politician who was mayor of Lower Hutt.

## Biography

Peterkin was born in 1839 in London. He found employment with the London and North Western Railway, later becoming a leading hand. He then emigrated to Victoria, Australia, to become manager of the Vulcan Foundry at Geelong. Three years later he superintended the building of a freezing works at Rockhampton and established a foundry there as well. He then became an engineer overseeing cable work before shifting to New Zealand. In 1876 he was appointed as a railway engineer at Westport, later becoming manager of the Christchurch Tramway Company. He rejoined the railways department, working at Hillside and Addington, and was again manager at Westport for seven years. In 1897 he moved to Wellington where he was a locomotive engineer.

In 1907 he was elected Mayor of Lower Hutt, defeating borough councillors Albert Burton Clark and Frederick de Jersey Clere for the position. He presided over a period of large population growth and urbanisation. The council spent on upgrading sewage and water infrastructure and constructing public facilities causing the council to amass much debt. By the time Peterkin retired as mayor the council had almost no money left for any further expenditure. After he left office an independent audit of the council's finances and its £7,000 debt was held but found no corruption or willful mismanagement by Peterkin and the council members, though City Engineer Henry Rix-Trott would resign over the matter in 1910.

He died at his home in Lower Hutt in 1926.
