The Creative Gene is a translation/compilation of essays by Hideo Kojima on his relationship with specific pieces of media and media that he enjoyed at specific times in his life. I found a lot of the essays to be pretty inspiring and they really help the reader get to know Kojima as a person. It's probably his most personal writing to date. If you're at all interested in what makes Kojima's brain tick or who he is as a person, this is the book for you. If you don't know who Hideo Kojima is, then you will by the end of the book.
