Rated Picks and Shovels 8/10

As usual, Doctorow covers a lot of the tech of the era (late 80s in this case), and explains the malicious tech schemes in great detail. Think printers that will only take the vendor's paper, floppy drives that reject someone else's disks, etc. It's not completely Ready Player One with its pop culture references, but it's close enough for my taste.<br/><br/>Full review: https://puf.io/books/picks-and-shovels-martin-hench-3---cory-doctorow/<br/>All my ratings/reviews: https://puf.io/books
