I’m Michael Lutz, an academic, game designer, cultural critic, and general bon vivant. I’m mostly active on Twitter, where I mix all of those aforementioned concerns with lots of screaming and bad jokes.
Interesting in working with me, or just have a question? You can email me!

ACADEMIC WORK
In Fall 2017 I received my PhD in English literature at Indiana University Bloomington. Academically, my interests include early modern drama, especially that of Shakespeare and his cohort, as well as theories of media and posthumanism.
