Cory Doctorow has given us permission to play the first chapter of Red Team Blues directly on our podcast! And as an added treat, the audio-book is read by none other than Will Wheaton, the actor who played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek The Next Generation - a voice that you will instantly recognize. It's pretty rare to hear excerpts from an author’s work directly on a podcast that discusses their work. Authors usually do not have the power to give such permission because they generally have to sign away control over the rights to their own creative output in exchange for access to the market, which is guarded by powerful monopolies that shape the this market to their advantage. But of course Cory Doctorow is not one to submit to the powers that his technology activism specifically aims to oppose. So he has produced his own, DRM-free audio-book through a crowd-funding campaign on his webpage craphound.com, where you can purchase his written and audio work directly without the intervention of Amazon or Spotify or anyone else. So here we give you the first chapter of Red Team Blues: a crypto-currency thriller and crash course on the finer points of how to gain or steal or lose a trillion dollars.
