    That’s just so stupid. I can’t imagine Doctorow’s usual audience falling for this, though.

    (Started reading it today and couldn’t put it away, it’s an amazing book, especially the chapter about technofeudalism. I bought my copy as a DRM-free .epub on thalia.de and it’s definitely the real one 😆.)

      My tinfoil hat theory is that this instance is less a cashgrab and more an attack from AI slopbros to drown out criticism their billionaire overlords.

      Really keen to sit down and read this book though.
