    Confession - I used to read Boing Boing back in the 00’s and thought Cory Doctorow was so cool. Teenage me was such a fuckin lib nerd.

      Walkaway was a pretty cool book imo, if a little lib cringey at times. I’m sure I don’t want to know the full extent of his political opinions, but vaguely plausible anarchist revolution stories are hard to come by.

        Radicalized is pretty good too, and Rapture of the Nerds is fun.

        I started reading his latest novel Attack Surface and it's full of soy and cringe. I'll have to go back and re read some parts, I think he actually said positive things about Yeltsin and the fall of the USSR.
