I like seeing books with older protagonists. Again, Cory writes a book that is part expose part scifi. Again he paints a leftist fantasy. I didn't resonate with this one as much because I am of the "fuck crypto-currency" leftist varietal, but it was about as utopic as one gets in a book with assassins, so hurrah Cory!

Lowell I very much agree with the fuck cryptocurrency attitude.. but so does Corey - and I think one of his real points in this book is that crypto is absolutely 100% inherently untrustworthy.


Allison Hurd Yeah, I think you're right, but I needed to care somewhat about some of the crypto-bros and I...just do not lol. I think he did a good job, just not my favorite job.

hahaha Not a self-identification I would have expected.

To his credit, Doctorow's Hench sings an ode to the money machine of indexed funds for his shadily acquired nut, not leftist, Millennial, ETFs. 😏
