YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, co-wrote a thriller novel titled The Most Dangerous Games with James Patterson. [^2]

The partnership will begin with a video on September 5 featuring Jimmy Donaldson using Gemini for wilderness survival advice. [^3]

News service Semafor, via The Hollywood Reporter, reported that the book is on track to be a historic bomb due to poor pre-order performance. [^4]

Presales numbers for the book are reported to be in the single-digit thousands, which a publishing source told IGN is a tiny fraction of what is needed to justify the authors' fees. [^5]

The novel, a fictionalized version of a large-scale survival game, tells the story of 100 strangers competing for a billion dollars with deadly challenges in Antarctica. [^6]

Teams in the video series will use Gemini to identify dangers, survive brutal weather changes, and stay ahead in the competition. [^7]

The collaboration involves integrating Google Health and the Fitbit Air into the content produced by MrBeast. [^8]
