Namakemono reviewed Tracers in the Dark by Andy Greenberg
Over the last decade, a single innovation has massively fueled digital black markets: cryptocurrency. Crime …
Thrilling True Crime
5 stars
Hooked from the first page, a good and thrilling read. Especially, if you are interested in true crime or cryptocurrencies.
Well written and exciting, Andy Greenberg tells the story of how investigators have managed to dismantle digital black markets and expose the crime lords behind them. (Ross Ulbricht, the criminal, who was sentenced to lifelong prison and now has been pardoned by Donald Trump, for example).
Unfortunately, the concerns that such investigative methods should raise, and the dangers posed by such surveillance tools, are somewhat neglected. I also miss recommendations for in-depth articles or books. But that doesn't detract from the reading experience.
Namakemono reviewed Ungleich behandelt by Sabina Schwachenwalde
Gesundheit ist politisch!
Die gesellschaftliche Diskriminierung und Ungleichbehandlung von Frauen, People of Color, Menschen mit …
Gesundheit ist Glückssache
Das es ein Gender Pay Gap gibt, ist ja nichts Neues, das Gender Health Gap ist auch irgendwie bekannt, aber das unverhohlene Diskriminierung, Klassismus, Rassismus und Ableismus in den Strukturen des deutschen Gesundheitssystems und der Medizingeschichte etwas ganz alltägliches ist, dass war mir schockierend unklar.
Sabina Schwachenwalde rollt die einzelnen Themen umfassend auf, erklärt Historie, Grundlagen und Zusammenhänge. Woher kommt diese systemimmanente Ungerechtigkeit und Ungleichbehandlung?
Am Ende des Buches ist man auf jeden Fall schlauer und wütend. Denn Gesundheit scheint immer noch Glückssache zu sein, Tod und Leben kann auch heute noch am Geschlecht, der Hautfarbe oder dem Behinderungsgrad hängen.
Der ausführliche Teil mit Angaben zu Büchern, Artikeln, Blogs, Filmen, Studien und auch Anlaufstellen für Patient*innen bietet viel Informationen zur Vertiefung und Hilfe.
#bookrecommendation wanted
I am looking for #gothic (horror) novels by contemporary authors. I don't care if the setting is historical (for instance Regency, Victorian or Edwardian) or contemporary.
I am NOT looking for generic horror, but books with a gothic horror feeling.
I already have some books on my wish list, but I'd love to get more recommendations.
Bonus points if the story has queerness.
If you have published such a book yourself, tell me about it.😀

I‘ve read Nocticadia and even though I am not a fan of the student/professor-trope, the worldbuilding in this book was really, really good.

"Lügen erscheinen dem Verstand häufig viel einleuchtender und anziehender als die Wahrheit, weil der Lügner den großen Vorteil hat, im Voraus zu wissen, was das Publikum zu hören wünscht."
Zitat von Hannah Arendt, gefunden im Buch "Werbung für die Wahrheit" von Thomas Laschyk vom @Volksverpetzer. Lesenswertes Buch über die Verbreitungsmechanismen von #Desinformation und die Wirkungen von #Faktenchecks.
Ok, I actually read Gothikana because even though I‘ve only heard mixed things about it I am still a sucker for dark academia / gothic settings. And I thought that maybe its not as bad as some reviews say. Also… it has a nice cover. But holy plothole-heaven. This book is really amazing in not explaning many things happening and some characters react in ways that are just off. The romance part for me sometimes felt kinda predator-ish, but maybe something got lost in translation, as I was reading the german version. But still…
