Welcome to Litsy!

Big finance and big tech already control access to digital money but nothing will satisfy those in power until they have total control. Interesting book! I listened to the audiobook.

Lesson plan approved. 👏🏻

I think there are a lot of missing parts to the story

#CoverLove #Gray published in the 90s, I use it as a reference, I refer to it when I read about movements or organizations . Everything from ACLU , American Indian Movement, Black Panthers , American Nazi Party, & more . Enlightening, definitely not fun.

So many catchy tunes on this album, but "Hard to Beat" is kinda that!

I loved “More Perfect”. The characters are complicated and so are their motivations. There are real stakes and costs. The technology is both frightening and exhilarating. Just a great read.

Books I read in June plus ebook of The Palestine Laboratory

I finished Titanium Noir in a day, so I decided to take on this #chunkster It‘s definitely slower reading, but I‘m intrigued enough to continue!

-It‘s fascinating how much they underestimate the librarian.
-Overall, I was engaged throughout most of the story.
-A fantastic narrator
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬⇩
-Some people found it repetitive…but, it wasn‘t an issue for me.
-It was often quite noticeable that a man wrote the female protagonist.
-There are a significant amount of implausible elements, but I just went with it.

This book (sequel to Eggers' The Circle) took me a looong time to finish. It's a dystopian story that imagines a world where Meta and Amazon become this massive tech monopoly and take over surveillance, medicine, consumption, and basically every aspect of one's life. The amount of tech advancements described in the book was a bit overwhelming, but also mirrors reality in a sense. I don't know, I just had a hard time with this one.
