As regular readers know, I promote books here that I’m reading but I don’t review them all that much. However sometimes, a book stands out and I’ll have a little something to say about it. One of those is Red Team Blues, the latest novel by Cory Doctorow.
It’s a new Doctorow so I’m going to read it. But to be honest, how could anyone make a thriller based on the blockchain interesting and informative at the same time. Yep, Cory’s done it. Even with a main character of a retired forensic accountant, Marty Hench. While not a long as many of his other novels, this is the first of a planned trilogy, working backward through Hench’s life and career. I’m looking forward to the sequel The Bezzle due out in February 2024.
