"New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow returns to the world of Red Team Blues to bring us the origin story of Martin Hench and the most powerful new tool for crime ever invented: the personal computer.

Here, Martin Hench will invent the forensic accountant — what a bounty hunter is to people, he is to money — but for now he’s an MIT dropout odd-jobbing his way around a city still reeling from the invention of a revolutionary new technology that will change everything about crime forever, one we now take completely for granted.

'Picks And Shovels' is a high-tech crime thriller about the “weird era of PCs” in the early 1980s, when Reaganomics, the tech industry, multilevel marketing, and the AIDS crisis all converged in San Francisco. "—Jacobin

I'm tempted to start changing channel/stream, or just turning off, whenever an interviewee begins an answer with "what an excellent question!"

It's an epidemic. Some people will say that for EVERY. SINGLE. QUESTION. And for the simplest, most obvious questions too.

"Welcome, tell us about how you started in your field."
"What an excellent question!"
