Cory Doctorow, bekannt für seinen Kampf gegen DRM, hat die Rechte an der deutschen Hörbuchfassung seines Romans “Red Team Blues” gekauft. Da es ohne DRM ist, war es auf großen Plattformen wie Audible nicht erhältlich. Um das Problem zu lösen, startete er eine Kickstarter-Kampagne, um das Hörbuch direkt an Fans zu verkaufen. Und es gibt Rabatte auf seine englischen Bücher.

It was standing room only at the Toronto stop of Cory Doctorow 's ( @pluralistic ) book tour, for #PicksAndShovels
This arrived. Yay. I love Will Wheaton reading Cory's @pluralistic's books but I have to own the hard copy too. Loving learning more about cybersecurity, crypto and finance with Marty Hench. #thebezzle #RedTeamBlues
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.

Just downloaded my copy of @pluralistic 's #RedTeamBlues and #thebezzle from the kickstarter campaign. Excited to dig in soon.
Die Abendlektüre gestern nach den KI-Diskussionen: Das neue Buch von @pluralistic Cory #Doctorow: "The Bezzle", der zweite Martin Hench-Roman nach #RedTeamBlues. Als Audiobook gelesen von Will Wheaton (und nicht erhältlich auf Audible, weil DRM-frei). Von mir als eBook gelesen. #TheBezzle
Acabei #RedTeamBlues do @pluralistic Os temas que se espera do Doctorow, menos o utopismo, mas num estilo novo: Bruce Schneier pela voz de Raymond Chandler. A combinação funciona bem (talvez com um cadinho de Lazarus Long do Heinlein, que gostei menos). Mas, overall, gostei imenso do livro.
Just finished off @pluralistic Cory Doctorow’s #RedTeamBlues. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
But who “modified” the Nissan Leaf and when?
Of course I support #TheBezzle #Crowdfunding by @pluralistic - which Audible will not sell as an #audiobook because of #DRM BS. #PrisonTech, #DotBomb #Enshittification and the same Martin Hench I loved in the previous book, #RedTeamBlues that you can bundle with this pledge, if you missed it.

Content warning Long thread/22
Now I'm pre-selling this audiobook, as well as the ebook and hardcover for *The Bezzle*. I'm also offering bundles with the ebook and audiobook for #RedTeamBlues (naturally these are all DRM-free). You can get your books signed and personalized and shipped anywhere in the world, courtesy of #BookSoup, and I've partnered with #LibroFM to deliver DRM-free audiobooks with an app for people who don't want to mess around with sideloading.

Eigentlich wollte ich ja #lostcause von @pluralistic anfangen aber als ich schon im Shop auf craphound.com war, habe ich gemerkt, dass ich #RedTeamBlues noch nicht gelesen habe, also kommt vorher das dran.

That realization sits behind my series of #noir novels about the two-fisted forensic accountant #MartinHench, which started with last April's #RedTeamBlues and continues with #TheBezzle, this coming February:

A typical noir hero is an unlicensed cop, who goes places the cops can't go and asks questions the cops can't ask.

"but of course, in every just revolution there are losers. And if there's one thing history has taught us it's that losing a just revolution doesn't mean that you go away, dig a hole, climb inside, pull the dirt in on top of yourself. You hang around nursing your grievances and that has what has come to the world of The Lost Cause"
I had thoroughly enjoyed #RedTeamBlues and just backed @pluralistic's new novel of #climate and hope on kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doctorow/the-lost-cause-a-novel-of-climate-and-hope. Thank you Cory for providing the option of a DRM-free audio book!
Got to see @pluralistic promoting #RedTeamBlues at the #SanDiego Festival of Books.
