I let out a gasp when I saw the title of this book: “Privacy is Power. Why and how you should take back control of your data” by Carissa Véliz.
YES!!!
I can’t wait to start reading it.

English civil servant and author E.R. Eddison died #OTD in 1945.
He is best known for The Worm Ouroboros (1922) and for the Zimiamvian Trilogy set in the imaginary world Zimiamvia. The Worm of Ouroboros shaped the landscape of contemporary science fiction and fantasy. When The Lord of the Rings first appeared, the critics inevitably compared it to this landmark work. Tolkien himself frankly acknowledged its influence, with warm praise for its imaginative appeal.
