When I was putting together my "Forgotten Greek and Roman Myths" manuscript, I was constantly told that it is not a sellable concept for a book - because "people want to read their favorite myths", and not unkown ones.

Now the reviews are trickling in, and every reviewer highlights how exciting it is to find unknown myths about the well-known gods and heroes.

🤷‍♀️

(Still looking for an English language publisher, btw.)

finished reading Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Late-stage capitalism has given way to cloud-based fiefs, and we are the serfs. I need convincing on some of the detail (e.g. how effective are they at manipulating our desires?), but mostly agree with his main argument. Pairs well with Cory Doctorow's #enshittification ideas ( @pluralistic).

Finished today #Julia" by Sandra Newman, a 2023 feminist retelling of #1984 by #GeorgeOrwell from her perspective, just as "James" had been a retelling of "Huckleberry Finn". Recommended recently by Cory Doctorow @pluralistic which is why I got it via Overdrive/Libby. Do read it! (The ending hat me shivering, thinking of postwar #Germany and the #Persilschein, but read it yourself!) @bookstodon @buchstodon #bookstodon #bookreviews

"Spill", from Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ), is a page-turning thriller about activism, climate emergency and hacking — intelligently, engagingly and inspiringly reflecting the dystopia we're entering.

Neue Buchrezension auf meinem #Solarpunk Blog: 🌞🌱

„Walkaway“ von Cory Doctorow @pluralistic

https://solar-punk.org/2024/08/20/walkaway-von-cory-doctorow/

Eine spannende Vision eines selbstverwalteten Netzwerks von Aussteiger:innen, die in High-Tech-Kommunen eine Alternative zum kapitalistischen Mainstream aufbauen.

(und ein Erklärungsversuch zum revolutionären Potenzial von #3DDruck ) 😀

Quote from "The Internet Con" by @pluralistic. Good book, can recommend.

Big companies can often trade lawyers' fees for fines at favorable exchange rates.

Has anyone seen a book about the ongoing/future climate refugee crisis that includes possible solutions? #books #bookstodon

The cover of Hope Matters by Elin Kelsey. The background is a light grey sky above cracked grey earth with a single green plant shoot growing out of it. The text reads "This book comes at just the right moment. It is NOT too late if we get together and take action, NOW." JANE GOODALL, HOPE (in blue) MATTERS (in light green) Why Changing the Way We Think Is Critical to Solving the Environmental Crisis (in brown). The authors name is at the bottom left in emerald green.

I tried to like this ultra-violent superhero yarn that just happens to be co-written by Keanu Reeves, but despite its accomplished art, ‘BRZRKR’ disappoints on every other level.

If you want access to free books, please get a library card.

In the US, the more people there are with library cards, the more funding libraries have access to.

Libraries provide more than books. They are a community resource.

As an author and reader, I support libraries!
