Right now this is satire. But it’s not all that far off from what some of the tech bro idiots would like to sell.
Finished: The Fourth Protocol, by Frederick Forsyth 📚. Forsyth died this month, so I tossed this one on the stack to reread. I’m glad I did. Although he was accused of basically rewriting the same book over and over, it’s a pretty good book - in this case, a story of spies, suitcase nukes, and the British establishment. I’ll miss not having new books from him.

No surprise there. Meanwhile I expect a whole lot of class action suits are about to be filed to replace the nationwide injunctions.

Finished: Bull Mountain, by Brian Panowich 📚. Multi-generational novel revolving around a family of outlaws in Georgia who move from moonshine to pot to meth over the decades. I did not see the ending twist coming at all, though in retrospect it was well-telegraphed. Enjoyable.
