Also highly recommend Machineries of Empire by Yoon Ha Lee.
It’s got romance. It’s got swashbuckling. It’s got vendettas. A woman smashes a genocidal empire with mathemagic. Conversely, the empire’s greatest general is an effortlessly cool gay dude with dyscalculia from the Korean part of Space Texas who lives in people’s shadows, and it makes sense how that happened. The genocide happens because of a lone maniac’s insane tech debt. Different factions try to subvert each other via cleverly designed board games. There are soooo many unhealthy relationships.
5/5 stars

Also:
When the Advanced Custom Fields plugin was stolen by WordPress, DHH said “This is totally crazy. Like if the operators of rubygems dot org just decided to expropriate the official Rails gems, hand over control to a new team, and lock the core team out of it. We’re in uncharted and dangerous territory for open source now. What a sad sight."

The US economy is 100% on coyote time.
It wouldn’t matter if everyone came to their senses today. All the money that’s been invested into AI is gone. It has been turned into heat and swiftly-depreciating assets and can never be recouped.
It’s surreal isn’t it?
