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."
