James Lambariello asked James Islington:

Hey James, while reading WOTM I couldn't help but get a video game feeling from the Will-sharing system, with higher ups in society basically becoming Bosses with the strength of hundreds of men behind them. If Hierarchy were adapted into a video game, what games would you want it to draw inspiration from?

James Islington I gravitate towards immersive sims and RPGs (Dishonored, Deus Ex, Witcher 3, BG3, that sort of thing) - so in a dream, unlimited-budget type scenario, a story-rich game that settled into those genres would be my ideal. Something where you have to make difficult choices and can approach problems the way you want, rather than just having to hit every obstacle until it dies!

Jordan Armes asked James Islington:

Hi, James! Just read The Will of the Many this year after my friend recommended it to me and I was lucky enough to get an eARC of The Strength of the Few. I’ve never been more enamored and obsessed with a book series and its characters. Who are your top three characters you’ve written in the Hierarchy series?
