Not just Senators. Reps, lobbyists, staffers, CEOs. A plethora of hypocrites who want access to all the sex, drugs & downcountry degen shennanigans DC has to offer, so long as the plebs don't catch wind. Hedonism for me, but not for thee.

Coldwire: Die Zukunft ist tödlich
von Chloe Gong
übersetzt von Anja Herre

Die Wohlhabenden leben in glitzernden virtuellen Realitäten, während die Armen im zerfallenden „Downcountry“ zurückbleiben. Dort jagt eine junge Soldatin durch die Ruinen, um ihren Namen vom Verrat reinzuwaschen.
Coldwire: Die Zukunft ist tödlich von Chloe Gong übersetzt von Anja Herre Die neue Dystopie-Sensation der New York Times-Bestsellerautorin Das Leben der Wohlhabenden spielt sich in glitzernden virtuellen Realitäten ab, während die Armen im zerfallenden „Downcountry“ zurückbleiben. Dort jagt eine junge Soldatin durch die Ruinen, um ihren Namen vom Verrat reinzuwaschen – und muss sich dafür ausgerechnet mit dem Mann verbünden, der wirklich schuldig ist. Um Klimakatastrophen und Epidemien zu entkommen, lebt die Menschheit größtenteils in der virtuellen Welt „Upcountry“, während die Zurückgelassenen in „Downcountry“ ums Überleben kämpfen. Doch auch Upcountry ist nicht sicher: Ein Kalter Krieg tobt zwischen den Nationen Medaluo und Atahua. Eirale, als Soldatin für NileCorp in Downcountry stationiert, wird des Mordes an einem Regierungsbeamten beschuldigt. Ihre einzige Chance: mit Atahuas meistgesuchtem Anarchisten kooperieren, um ein streng geheimes KI-Programm der Regierung in Medaluo zu finden. Währenddessen beendet Lia ihr letztes Jahr an der Militärakademie. Für ihre Abschlussprüfung soll sie Medaluo infiltrieren und einen Verräter aufspüren. Obwohl Eirale und Lia auf unterschiedlichen Realitätsebenen durch Medaluo jagen, beginnen beide zu ahnen, dass sie Teile eines größeren Puzzles sind – und je näher sie der Wahrheit kommen, desto näher rücken ihre Welten an eine zerstörerische Kollision.

We were just kids, doing a semester abroad, and let me tell you! Getting lectured in a downcountry pub by some grey-haired Irish hippies about how US imperialism took over when the Brits collapsed and was doing all the same terrible stuff was really eye opening.
This is why you should travel kids.

A photo of a hand holding the book, "The Place Where They Buried Your Heart" by Christina Henry in front of a bookshelf. --- Come to the event on November 5th! https://blue-house-books.com/events/3480720251105 On an otherwise ordinary street in Chicago, there is a house. An abandoned house where, once upon a time, terrible things happened. The children who live on this block are told by their parents to stay away from that house. But of course, children don’t listen. Children think it’s fun to be scared, to dare each other to go inside. Jessie Campanelli did what many older sisters do and dared her little brother Paul. But unlike all the other kids who went inside that abandoned house, Paul didn’t return. His two friends, Jake and Richie, said that the house ate Paul. Of course adults didn’t believe that. Adults never believe what kids say. They thought someone kidnapped Paul, or otherwise hurt him. They thought Paul had disappeared in a way that was ordinary, explainable. The disappearance of her little brother broke Jessie’s family apart in ways that would never be repaired. Jessie grew up, had a child of her own, kept living on the same street where the house that ate her brother sat, crouched and waiting. And darkness seemed to spread out from that house, a darkness that was alive—alive and hungry. https://www.blue-house-books.com/item/BQmk5nUNoKGu0kuXs9cvqg A photo of a hand holding the book, "The House Saphir" by Marissa Meyer in front of a book display. --- https://www.blue-house-books.com/item/MWp_c1qAP1z2ii0gb5h0vw Mallory Fontaine is a fraud. Though she comes from a long line of witches, the only magic she possesses is the ability to see ghosts, which is rarely as useful as one would think. She and her sister have maintained the family business, eking out a paltry living by selling bogus spells to gullible buyers and conducting tours of the infamous mansion where the first of the Saphir murders took place. Mallory is a self-proclaimed expert on Count Bastien Saphir—otherwise known as Monsieur Le Bleu—who brutally killed three of his wives more than a century ago. But she never expected to meet Bastien's great-great grandson and heir to the Saphir estate. Armand is handsome, wealthy, and convinced that the Fontaine Sisters are as talented as they claim. The perfect mark. When he offers Mallory a large sum of money to rid his ancestral home of Le Bleu's ghost, she can’t resist. A paid vacation at Armand’s country manor? It’s practically a dream come true, never mind the ghosts of murdered wives and the monsters that are as common as household pests. But when murder again comes to the House Saphir, Mallory finds herself at the center of the investigation—and she is almost certain the killer is mortal. If she has any hope of cashing in on the payment she was promised, she’ll have to solve the murder and banish the ghost, all while upholding the illusion of witchcraft. But that all sounds relatively easy compared to her biggest challenge: learning to trust her heart. Especially when the person her heart wants the most might be a murderer himself.

Herman in the front of the bookstore. --- https://www.blue-house-books.com/item/3Czr8TaWU9-3IfJXUMqdCQ For most of the year, Summer reigns peacefully over Alderland. Then, for six brutal weeks, Winter rages, obliterating towns and wreaking casualties. Magicians bond with powerful wands of Summer to defend the nation, a duty that costs many their lives. Domenic Barrow never wanted such responsibility—but destiny hasn’t granted him a choice. The greatest Summer wand has awakened for the first time in a century, warning that an icy cataclysm looms on the horizon. And despite his reputation as the least suited of his classmates, the wand Chooses Domenic to wield it. Ellery Caldwell spent years striving to be a perfect Summer magician—and burying her fears of her own power. But her worst suspicions are proven true when she accidentally creates the first ever Winter wand. Now, as the unprecedented Chosen Two, Domenic and Ellery must thwart the oncoming cataclysm together. And in trying to fulfill their destinies, they wonder if they were brought together for a second fate: to fall in love. Until they discover the unthinkable truth. The Chosen Two aren’t fated allies, but eternal rivals, and the only way to save their home is for one of them to slay the other. This is no love story. It's a tragedy. A photo of a hand holding the book, "Coldwire" by Chloe Gong in front of a book display. --- https://www.blue-house-books.com/item/uhkEB3h562tMo5rfVS1mUg The future is loading… To escape rising seas and rampant epidemics, most of society lives “upcountry” in glistening virtual reality, while those who can’t afford the subscription are forced to remain in crumbling “downcountry.” But upcountry isn’t perfect. A cold war rages between two powerful nations, Medaluo and Atahua—and no one suffers for it more than the Medan orphans in Atahua. Their enrollment at Nile Military Academy is mandatory. Either serve as a soldier, or risk being labelled a spy. Eirale graduated the academy and joined NileCorp’s private forces downcountry, exactly as she was supposed to. Then Atahua’s most wanted anarchist frames her for assassinating a government official, and she’s given a choice: cooperate with him to search for a dangerous program in Medaluo or go down for treason. Meanwhile, Lia is finishing her last year upcountry at Nile Military Academy. Paired with her academic nemesis for their final assignment, Lia is determined to beat him for valedictorian and prove her worth. But there may be far more at stake when their task to infiltrate Medaluo and track down an Atahuan traitor goes wrong… Though Eirale and Lia tear through Medaluo on different planes of reality, the two start to suspect they are puzzle pieces in a larger conspiracy—and the closer they get to the truth, the closer their worlds come to a shattering collision.

I'm thinking about the climate crisis, and how on earth to keep in touch with my families.

one of them lives up north, another across the ocean, and one further downcountry. All of them require driving long distances, or traversing the skies by plane.

#ChloeGong is cutting her Shakespeare training wheels loose and releasing a book that isn't a retelling. #Coldwire takes a dive into AI and virtual reality.
Check out my #bookreview & interview with Chloe.

Book Review: “Coldwire” by Chloe Gong
One of the hot ARCs people were desperate to snag at YallWest 2025 is the new adventure from Chloe Gong, Coldwire. Chloe's first two series were adaptations of Shakespeare, so there's a lot of curiosity on how she'll handle her first original series. Coldwire is a dual POV cyberpunk story, partially set in a reality called Downcountry and partially set in a virtual world called Upcountry.

didn't need to have begging or scrounging added to that. I find the modern practice highly distasteful for that reason, and the threats of destruction of property if they dont get what they want.
Downcountry however, you'd walk the lanes, your hand in a grownups, and see all the lights ahead

to a few friends, apple bobbing, ghost stories, and nuts lined up by the fire with names attached to them, to see who burst into passion for you, and who fizzled out. There'd be blushes and giggles. Downcountry was beautiful, sparklers like stars flickering low in country lanes
