The Bezzle excerpt (Part VI)

The thrilling conclusion!

The cover of the Tor Books edition of *The Bezzle*: a yellow background with the words ‘Cory Doctorow,’ ‘The Bezzle,’ ‘New York Times Bestselling Author,’ and ‘A Martin Hench novel.’ Between them is an escheresque impossible triangle. The center of the triangle is a barred, smaller triangle (in blue, black and cream) that imprisons a silhouetted male figure in a suit. Two other male silhouettes in suits run alongside the top edges of the triangle.

Solar is a market for (financial) lemons

Our Slow AIs have an alignment problem.

An image of a modest house with rooftop solar. Rising over the roof is a picture of WC Fields as a carny barker, waving his hat around and shouting.

The long sleep of capitalism’s watchdogs

“Self-regulation is to regulation as self-importance is to importance.”

A vintage photo of Wall Street, tinted sepia. It has been altered. A chainlink fence pattern has been overlaid on the scene. A crooked, dirty ‘BEWARE OF DOG’ sign hangs from the fence, with a line-art drawing of a lunging, snarling German shepherd. Beneath the sign, and behind the chainlink, a small, cute puppy snoozed. In the middle of Wall Street is the ‘Charging Bull’ bronze statue, standing in a spreading pool of blood. Its eyes glow red. Image: Sam Valadi (modified) https://www.flickr.com

Spending $200b to relocated doomed communities will save $1T

The best time to start a 100-year project was a century ago, the second best time is now.
