Starred listening to Picks and Shovels by @pluralistic last night while crafting with my wife. We usually also fall asleep to a book and she asked me to not play it while we drifted off, because if I did she would not be able to, it is that good. Wil Wheaton is great, as always.

@pluralistic 's 'Picks & Shovels' is the book you should be reading right now! While it is entertaining it will chill you to the bone with the harsh reality of what is happening to the world today.

Get on the Marty Hench train with Red Team Blues and a bunch of other Cory Doctorow @pluralistic books via Humble Bundle.
Shockingly available in the UK, unlike another recent popular book deal, for £14.34 for all 18 books ($18 in the USA)
As another thread has pointed out, adjust the donation percentage as the default to the EFF is only 72p, and be careful of the default price selected.

CW: Long thread/6
That's how I came to write *nine* books during lockdown ("when life gives you SARS, make sarsaparilla"). *Lost Cause* was one of *three* books I published in 2023.
I'm going to greet 2024 with another novel, *The Bezzle*, a sequel to 2023's *Red Team Blues*, about the hard-charging, high-tech forensic accountant #MartyHench:

CW: Long thread/2
To kick things off, I'm serializing chapter one, where we meet #MartyHench, a 67-year-old, hard-charging #ForensicAccountant with 40 years' experience busting Silicon Valley's most eye-watering scams, and learn about his last case - recovering a billion dollars' worth of cryptographic secrets.
