OK, I guess it's going to be some shameless self-promotion, then, sorry:

I wrote a book (https://www.albertcory.io/inventing-the-future) that's set 7-10 years after TSOANM. Unlike Kidder, I was actually part of it. One of the reviews compares it to TSOANM, so I guess that's high praise.

Since there are already at least two non-fiction books about all that (Fumbling the Future and Dealers of Lightning) I wrote this like it was fiction, meaning with characters who get to do things and talk to each other, and don't know how it all turns out.

Nearly all the players who are still alive helped & critiqued it, and one (Dave Smith, the inventor of icons) wrote the Foreword.




Thanks for the pointer! Just bought the audiobook version of your book, looks like a great read.


Thank you, sir! The narrator (Maxwell Glick) and I did about an hour of live chat:

He did my second book, too.


Thank you sir! Already in my shopping cart.


Brad's already started a Twitter thread about it. AMA!
