reviewed Picks and Shovels by Cory Doctorow (Martin Hench, #3)

Cory Doctorow: Picks and Shovels (Hardcover, 2025, Tor Books) 4 stars

*New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow returns to the world of Red Team Blues …

A Fun Story of Adversarial Interoperability and Crime

4 stars

Doctorow is in fine form here, delivering a thrilling story set in the early days of personal computers. There's more emotional impact here than I expected, and the retro technology involved makes it a fascinating look at early hardware hacking.

Hugh Amano, Sarah Becan: Let's Make Ramen! A Comic Book Cookbook (2019, Ten Speed Press) 4 stars

A Mild Comic Cookbook

2 stars

Reading about nearly anything in comic form is more enjoyable for me, but this comic book cookbook felt like it could have used the medium to greater effect. It would be a fine cookbook for some, but I was definitely put off by the heavy use of animal products throughout. A bit more about the history and context of ramen in Japan and other countries would have made for a more enjoyable read for me.
