'Cory Doctorow writes as few authors do, with tech world savvy and real world moral clarity. A true storyteller for our times.' -- John Scalzi, author of OLD MAN'S WAR PRAISE FOR THE MARTIN HENCH SERIES 'A fast-paced, voraciously readable thriller that lays bare the financial rot at the core of Silicon Valley's high-minded rhetoric of innovation.' - Roger McNamee, author of Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe 'I showed up for the high-tech ideas and stayed for the whodunit. You don't need to be a techie to love Red Team Blues – you just need to be fascinated about what the future might hold.' - A. G. Riddle, author of Lost in Time 'Well, talk about timely. In the wake of the late-2022 collapse of cryptocurrency comes this novel about a forensic accountant who’s hired to work a case involving electronic theft of cryptocurrency... Doctorow's novels are always feasts for the imagination and the intellect, and this one is no exception: it’s jam-packed with cutting-edge ideas about cybersecurity and crypto, and its near-future world is lovingly detailed and completely believable.' - BookList 'Cory Doctorow's fiction is a vector through which he offers incisive commentary on technology and society, and Red Team Blues is no exception. Through the eyes of a grizzled forensic accountant, we're forced to question preconceived ideas around benevolent billionaires, honorable state authorities, and impenetrable security. Red Team Blues earns its spot in the top echelon of thriller novels that give you no choice but to devour them in one sitting, but leave you thinking long after you turn the last page.' -- Molly White 'Cory Doctorow is one of our most important science fiction writers' -- Kim Stanley Robinson on WALKAWAY
