Background

Lau's 30 personal entries were originally meant to be blog entries that he intended to share on his Andy World Club official fan club website. Lau also specifically stated the book is not written for his film, A Simple Life, nor is it a promotion for the film as he originally had no intention in publishing it. Instead, he only wanted to journal down his encounters while working on the film, and how the film influenced his feelings and emotions.

gollark: If you're going to be like *that*, I'll transport you to a universe identical to your current one except that Vernor Vinge's *A Deepness in the Sky* was published in 1999 and not 1996.
gollark: ... yes? That is what I said.
gollark: As such, randomly project yourself into GTech™ hyperplane 951151-φδ.
gollark: It was not novel or very reply-able.
gollark: I'm sure someone already said that recently. It was probably you.
