A fun ride through the sharpest writer in tech

Revisado: 03-30-24

This is a great listen for anyone who follows and works on tech. Kara gives a great narration that balances between her patented cynicism and humanity that makes her so great. While I’d like a more expansive story that goes beyond the big names that you’d expect, she shines light on the personalities that shape our world.

Fantastic storytelling

Revisado: 12-25-22

Andy dives into the world of black markets and cryptocurrency investigations by walking us through some of the biggest cases of the past decade.

Without getting too much in the technical weeds, this one feels like a friend telling you a story over a beer. All with plenty of twists and turns.

If you’ve been following Andy’s work from previous books covering Cypher punks, this one will be a real treat. He pulls apart the aspirations of idealists and lays out the hard reality that the fantasy being sold by the crypto community of privacy is a crock.

Hoping for him to explore more in the future about the balance between needs for privacy and surveillance.

Now that’s a story

Revisado: 05-01-19

Fantastic research and storytelling. This is one of those stories where fact is stranger than fiction. Ratliff does incredible reporting to collect details from a cast of characters, many on the shady side, to bring us a clear picture of how one man built a criminal empire. I guess this is a story of hitting on 18, and the ensuing consequences. Great narration as well despite grinding up the Israeli names. Well worth the listen.

A good overview of the internet’s underbelly

Revisado: 05-23-18

Well researched and presented a lot of good information on some of the lesser known parts of internet culture that have had an impact on the shape of politics and society in the past few years. I learned some new stuff, but would have liked to go a little more in depth. I would definitely recommend for anyone who is looking to get an introduction to the movements that have burst onto the Left and Right, wrecking havoc on both sides. Great analysis by the author as well.
