Ich will ja nicht petzen, aber das im Buch ist jetzt doch was anderes als im Film. Ganz anders, und ich mag es. Jetzt bin ich nur gespannt, wie man das auflöst. Irgend wie sollten Handlung von Buch und Film ja dann doch in dieselbe Richtung gehen. #TheExpanse #Buch #Bookwyrm

So langsam merkt man das der Roman und die Serie nicht ganz übereinstimmen. Das macht für mich auch gar keinen Unterschied, ich kann das im Kopf abstrahieren und trotzdem beides genießen. Und das mache ich auch mit Band 3, genießen. Eine tolle und spannende Welt ist da erschaffen worden und das Buch lässt manche Szenen noch plastischer wirken #Bücher #Buch #TheExpanse #Bookwyrm
It looks like you can add new books to #OpenLibrary again!
And thus subsequently import them to #BookWyrm ...
This is a great telling of the race to create a general purpose artificial intelligence that sparked the ChatGPT LLM frenzy that is fueling a craze for AI. It is interesting how two companies both approached the challenge with a focus on AGI and safety and how they both ended up getting co-opted by the very tech giants they were seeking to shield the technology from. Well-told and well-researched, I really enjoyed reading this. The book does a good job at not taking sides as either a techno-optomist or and AI-doomer and presents both sides evenly. Well done!

I love nature and I love books.If you do too, you might love this book. Told with a almost mystical reverence for the natural world, but with the voice of a scientifically trained botanist it weaves a story that while tragic at times is hopeful and uplifting. I feel like I struggled along with the author as she told her story and came out a better person in the end because of it. The audiobook is narrated by the author and that adds an extra dimension to the book and makes it more enjoyable, something rare for author narrated audiobooks.
The inside story of the largest law-enforcement sting operation ever, in which the FBI made …
Loved this book. It is a gripping cyber-thriller about how the FBI infiltrated criminal organizations using encrypted communications. I tore through this and thoroughly enjoyed it. The material is factual and follows real events while still being structured effectively in a compelling narrative.
It's high time someone added the latest #folklore works by @SimonRoyHughes@thefolklore.cafe to the Open Library records (and #Bookwyrm , of course).

Much improved on the first book, though still too much banter and an obfuscating flood of names & places.

This books is amazing in many ways but is hard to compare to other more conventional stories and novels. It has a unique narrative structure and a radically chaotic use of language. I have to say I was skeptical at first and nearly gave up on this at several points, but it drew me in and by the end I was in love with its weird, quirky natures. The story itself is disjointed and a bit uninteresting when distilled from the way it is told and language used to tell it. That said it draws you in and is strong enough to hold up the novel through what is a marathon length telling. A lot of what happens in the book seems to be in service of some other purpose than serving to move the story along. It seems to be making points about society, human nature, morality and humanity …

The story itself is disjointed and a bit uninteresting when distilled from the way it is told and language used to tell it. That said it draws you in and is strong enough to hold up the novel through what is a marathon length telling. A lot of what happens in the book seems to be in service of some other purpose than serving to move the story along. It seems to be making points about society, human nature, morality and humanity in an almost back handed way that seems like an afterthought at first, but as this pattern becomes more and more common, it becomes apparent that these statements are more the point than the telling of the actual story. I loved this book and do not regret the 60 hours I put into listening to it.

I did not enjoy this one as much as the first edition, but I still feel like was a great ride on the forensic accounting rollercoaster. With solid story telling and deep dives into legal and tech ideas, I feel like I learned a lot too. Looking forward to the next Martin Hench story.

Just finished reading the new Cory Doctorow book, "Red Team Blues." It is a gripping story about cryptography and the world of dark finance. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.
