I always love listening to Wil Wheaton read an audio book and @pluralisticโs #RedTeamBlues is no exception. Fantastic book. Fantastic performance. I especially got a kick out of the bit at the end of the credits.

A delightful surprise this morning! #TorBooks released the cover for "The Bezzle," the sequel to "#RedTeamBlues" (out in Feb) designed by #WillStaehle. I didn't think it was possible, but I like this EVEN BETTER than the cover for book one!
I definitely recommend reading "Red Team Blues" by Corey Doctorow. I just finished it today and didn't really want it to end - interesting characters, great story; thoughtful treatment of a modern cyber finance world and its tight pairings with crime, grift, and greed. #doctorow #redteamblues #blockchain https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865847/redteamblues
Feels like this guy could be related to @pluralistic's Marty Hench...

Finally, my paper copy of #redteamblues by @pluralistic arrived. Still had to free it from customs, thanks to the EU copies being shipped from the UK. 0,11 EUR for tax, and a 5 EUR lump sum for the import without the IOSS system. Thanks, #brexitreality.
Fortunately, the immaterial contents reached me a while back in .epub format and I much enjoyed the read.
Really enjoying #RedTeamBlues by Cory Doctorow @pluralistic I hadn't read much about it and was expecting a non-fiction book about the appaling state of the tech industry, not a whodunnit set in Silicon Valley covering that same shitty state of the tech industry. It was a bit of a shock to begin with but I'm loving it.
Finished @pluralistic 's Red Team Blues over the weekend and loved it. Can't stop recommending it #cryptography #RedTeamBlues #InfoSec #ScienceFiction Here's a cryptographer's review - https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2023/04/24/book-review-red-team-blues/
Really enjoying the #RedTeamBlues audio book by @pluralistic - even more so because the story is set all around me in the Bay Area. How does the main character, Marty, manage to find a Walmart in San Francisco? A little bit of artistic license was requiredโฆ
Finally got to "read" #RedTeamBlues by @pluralistic It was really meta to read since I had checked it out from the SF Public Library. I'm now extra sad I missed his appearance there when it first came out. What a great look at my city, too.
@pluralistic #RedTeamBlues was a terrific road trip companion. I was all into the adventure during my drive from Sacramento to SoCal. I liked the heart, I liked the financial intrigue, I liked the ending that went from the personal to the systemic. The only part that took me out of the story was that Wil Wheaton in NO WAY sounds like a 67-year-old who regularly drinks bourbon. Still, it's a hit!
Great to see you again today Cory! @pluralistic #redteamblues #ossummit
I have a request for fans of @pluralistic โs #RedTeamBlues. If you happen to live close to any of the places described in the story and have the chance, could you snap a photo of that place with the cover and post it here? No pressure, though. Cheers.
Just finished the excellent
@pluralistic Cory Doctorow's novel Red Team Blues as wonderfully read by Wil Wheaton, the first Marty Hench novel. Must enjoyable! #RedTeamBlues https://craphound.com/category/redteamblues/ #GoRedTeam looking forward to more!
