A Publishers Marketplace Deal Report for a new book deal. The text of the Dear Report reads:
"REWILD THE INTERNET
By Maria Farrell
Imprint: One Signal, Continuum
Irish tech writer and speaker Maria Farrell's REWILD THE INTERNET:  HOW TO RESIST BIG TECH showing how to resist today’s toxic tech monoculture and grow a flourishing, competitive internet ecosystem where we can live better, freer lives, to Alessandra Bastagli at One Signal at auction by Zoe Pagnamenta at Calligraph (NA) on behalf of Antony Topping at Greene & Heaton. UK & Comm rights to Octavia Stocker and Tomasz Hoskins at Bloomsbury Continuum by Antony Topping. Translation: krizzo@greeneheaton.co.uk

So, THIS is happening

"Rewild the Internet: How to Resist Big Tech" will be published by Simon & Schuster in NY and Bloomsbury in London.

Every bit of power we take from Big Tech takes it away from autocrats like Trump. Showing how is what I'm doing to meet this moment.

Victim of its own success I think. Bandwidth greed or design laziness or both, pretty quickly devices would go through lengths to monopolize the available bandwidth. Even if you look at the internet as a whole, specs such as BBR are like, screw shared resources, give me everything.

Same with Ethernet, PCI. There might be a lesson in there 🙂

There's a clue in how there's essentially zero bundle offers for music/TV/movies - everyone is trying to "corner the market" with their own platform. Closest I've come to "buying" is to get physical media like CD/DVD. Usability sucks though.

Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.”
Snowy is very excited about the drink he has found.

Did you know that by substituting your morning coffee with green tea, you can eliminate up to 93% of what little joy you have left?

Word of this morning is ‘procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.
