Over the last decade, a single innovation has massively fueled digital black markets: cryptocurrency. Crime …
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.
Gesundheit ist politisch!
Die gesellschaftliche Diskriminierung und Ungleichbehandlung von Frauen, People of Color, Menschen mit …
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.😀

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson: A #book cover on random days. No. 54 - #books #fedibooks #paperback
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.
