Siggy’s Suggestions

I like stillstackin’s poem posts, but this one was a little out of my element. I’m not a scifi fan at all, but I was immediately drawn in by this cyborg’s (is that what you call her?) predicament. Still stackin found a gem in an unlikely place. I’m a sucker for a grim, apocalyptic vision.
I appreciated this post by @grayruby for a few reasons. Nathaniel Popper wrote Digital Gold, a well written and very entertaining narrative of the early days of bitcoin. If you haven’t read it, give it a try. Also, this is a Kevin Rooke podcast. Our old friend is an underrated podcast host, in my opinion, and I intend to catch up on some of his old episodes soon. I for one miss @kr’s insights here on Stacker News.
This week’s Golden Oldie:
This is a really good old book recommendation post. The post and the many replies are equally valuable. I always find some books I am not familiar with in these type of posts.

That's sort of what I'm doing when I pick out my suggestions each week. Basically these are posts that might not have gotten many sats or engagement that I think are valuable.
