New #audiobook review! "This book is utterly and completely captivating. The story is brilliant and full of twists and suspense, and I loved the characters. Kate is awesome, even with her insecurities and limitations. Christina Delaine totally nailed the narration."

A book cover has the title Something Shady at Sunshine Haven and the author name Kris Bock. The cover has a lot of orange, a southwest desert background, and a cityscape behind that.
The background for the card is a southwest scene with a city and mountains at sunset. Text says:
The Accidental Detective: War correspondent Kate Tessler has followed dangerous news around the world. But can she survive going back to her childhood home?

#Surveillance Valley - The Secret Military History of the #Internet

The #Audiobook by Yasha Levine: founded as free #Download here:

https://we.tl/t-7xQvY9MQM8

he Internet is the most effective weapon the government has ever built. In this fascinating book, investigative reporter Yasha Levine uncovers the secret origins of the Internet, tracing it back to a Pentagon counter— insurgency surveillance project. A visionary intelligence officer, William Godel, realized that the key to winning the war in Vietnam was not outgunning the enemy but using new infor- mation technology to understand their motives and anticipate their movements. This idea — using computers to spy on people and groups perceived as a threat, both at home and abroad - drove ARPA to develop the Internet in the 1960s and continues to be at the heart of the modern Internet we all know and use today. As Levine shows, surveillance wasn't something that suddenly appeared on the Internet; it was woven into the fabric of the technology. But this isn't just a story about the NSA or other domestic programs run by the government. As the book spins forward in time, Levine examines the private surveillance business that powers tech-industry giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon, revealing how these companies spy on their users for profit, all while doing double duty as military and intelligence contractors. Levine shows that the military and Silicon Valley are effectively inseparable: a military-digital complex that permeates everything connected to the Internet, even coopting and weaponizing the antigovernment privacy movement that sprang up in the wake of Edward Snowden.

Truly delighted the #Book I compiled, 'Wired Our Own Way; An Anthology of #Autistic #Irish Voices" has made the #Bestsellers. Never had a bestseller before so my mind is a bit blown. It has proven so popular that it's gone into a second print already. Thank you #Ireland for choosing to read and listen to our voices.

Available as #Paperback and as an #Audiobook

Started The Swallows by Lisa Lutz, and I'm already 20% into it and liking it so far. It's like an anti-Dead Poets Society, but where DPS kind of ignored private school cliques, - all the students seemed to mostly get along - Lutz leans in hard and it's far more interesting (don't get me wrong: I Dead Poets Society). My main complaint is that the long list of characters - students and teachers - is hard to track in the #audiobook. #Bookstodon #Books #AmReading #FridayReads @bookstodon #Fiction

So cosy and colour-coordinated! And the tree pattern! And the stitch markers!

A huge thank you to Evin Bail, a reader from Cork in Ireland, who shared this wonderful photo of their knitting while listening to my latest audiobook.

Thank you to the #ADHD, #Dyslexic and #VisionImpaired people here on mastadon who asked for audiobooks of my writings. The more people tell me their access needs, the better position I am in to encourage/ convince my publishers to make my work #Accessible.

Delighted my latest publisher agreed to make an #Audiobook of Wired Our Own Way; An Anthology of #Autistic Irish voices, which will be released tomorrow. Not sure all the platforms it will be on yet.

Curious what the ETA is for this. I know it's only March and I can be patient, but haven't heard any updates in a while

@adhdeanasl @stevendbrewer Another #audiobook I loved was the RTÉ production of #Joyce's #ULYSSES. I never could have gotten ten pages in, much less "heard the music," if you know what I mean.

@stevendbrewer I got so much out of the Moby Dick #audiobook.

As much as I enjoyed every page, let's face it, it's a slog. But the actor reading was amazing, lots of emotion and character voices. I took it on a bunch of long car trips: huge fun. And the archaic style and pacing, all the nautical jargon and dialect, the audio was a HUGE help.

I love to read in bed at the end of the day and I wore headphones and read along. God I enjoyed it so much. #Audiobooks count!

I've been listening to an audiobook on parasites and it's very unfortunate that narrator mispronounces larvae and genus. Among many other words. #science #audiobook #books #biology #parasites
