Screenshot from a promotional email from Kickstarter with an image of an audiobook on a phone screen: Cory Doctorow Picks and Shovels. The text reads: Help bring their new idea to life Cory Doctorow just launched a new Fiction project. We thought it would interest you since you’ve supported their work in the past. Back it now. Quote: I hugely enjoyed it. This reconstruction of the age is note perfect: the detail, the atmosphere, ethos, flavour and smell of the age is perfectly conveyed. (Stephen Fry)

Would I be interested in backing a new DRM-free Marty Hench novel and audiobook by @pluralistic read by Wil Wheaton? About Marty Hench's first case in the 80's? Absolutely, yes please. I happily backed this 15 seconds after receiving this e-mail. Both Red Team Blues and The Bezzle are brilliant, gripping and entertaining reads - not just for techies.

"Picks and Shovels is a rollicking tale of the AIDS crisis, queer hardware hackers, gifted punk rock Unix programmers, Reaganomics-fuelled pyramid schemes, and the moment where the seeds of tech's enshittification were planted in Silicon Valley."
