News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to this week’s issue of the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.
@Carreson added a “My Bitcoin Journey” post this week. We haven’t had one of these for a while, and it’s a good one. I really enjoy reading these posts, so I hope more stackers publish them. I will accept the inevitable consequence of receiving a "nice try,fed" from @Undisciplined and his ilk.
As always, please reply to this post with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.
I hope everyone has a good week.

@Rsync posted a list of works here that certainly are “for privacy”, but they are so much more. Once again, I selected this post for selfish reasons. Three of them are among my favorite books of all time. The Snowden autobiography is on my must read list. I have been a big fan of John Perry Barlow since long before he wrote “𝗔 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲.” He was a lyricist for The Grateful Dead, and I am a shameless deadhead. I wrote about him in a post last year.
I have not read The Unabomber’s Manifesto, but Eric Hugh’s “A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto” is a must read for all of us.
@mtb has recently started to post selected stories from his book "Para Vivir Seguros” (2005). These stories are sometimes tough to read tales from Venezuela. I highly recommend that you check them all out.
This week’s Golden Oldie:
Okay, so maybe I’m stretching a bit by calling a post made just slightly more than two month’s ago a “golden oldie”, but territories haven’t even been a thing for too long. And, I know I can’t go wrong with @plebpoet. Here, learning about @plebpoet’s writing process gives us insights and inspiration.
