Bois is known for his speculative fiction works on sports, such as 17776, its follow-up 20020, and The Tim Tebow CFL Chronicles.

He is also known for his documentary videos and their unique style.

Bois's work often covers strange incidents, statistical outliers, and teams considered unsuccessful or unpopular.

He is the inventor of the concept of scorigami.

Bois began a sequel to 17776, entitled 20020, in September 2020.
