Tilduke started reading 33 Lessons on Capital by Harry Cleaver
Never read capital vol 1 in it's entirety so figure this will be a good way while trying to put it in a 21st century context.

Review of 'Grave Peril' on 'GoodReads'

3.5/5
Probably my least favourite in the series so far but I can see how it provided some valuable context for the extent of Harry's power and his relationship with certain factions. Looking forward to the next one.
Tilduke reviewed War Girls by Tochi Onyebuchi
Review of 'War Girls' on 'GoodReads'
2 stars
Interesting premise and setting but just boring execution.
I didn't feel engaged in the story at all or really care about any characters. The technology was also glossed over and never really explained and used terms that probably showed up in a quick google like when they reference using a SIEM to protect their mech, which is a defensive security tool but doesn't really make sense in the context.
I think if you are interested in the premise you are probably better off reading a book about the actual Nigerian civil war.
