About this listen
Living in the Los Angeles wasteland can be tough - especially when you’re just some dude whose only real skill is computer hacking. So, Artie Gonzalez spends most of his days building drones, modifying his bipolar robot girlfriend, and scavenging for his next pair of Chuck Taylors. Artie watched the world end 10 years ago. That was after the famous programmer Satoshi Nakamoto released the world’s first sentient artificial intelligence.
Now planet Earth is a dump and Artie has finally accepted that fact, doing what any other respectable tech-nerd might do in his situation - build a post-apocalyptic man-cave. But the world is much different than he thinks. He’ll soon learn that thugs, raiders, and the occasional mutant are the least of his concerns. Something terrible is making its way from the east, kidnapping humans and rendering cities desolate - and Artie may be the only one with the skills to stop it. With the help of some new friends, Artie is about to embark upon the quest of a lifetime - and maybe earn some Bitcoin along the way.

Mr Xenomorph
This book is a bunch of good ideas that are just waisted.
The author seems like they have read a bunch of buzz words like 'Bitcoin" and "VPN" and just throws them in in the most basic way to try and justify why his, in my opinion, self insert character is just the best person ever in the post apocalypses.
Artie is meant to be a world class hacker, BUT across the book is clearly a top tear engineer NOT a hacker. Hell out side of being told he can hack the book takes WAY more time to show him as a master roboticist or electrician.
On the topic of Bitcoin, "Mark Wahlbeck" seems to take any chance he can to wax endlessly about how cool the technology is in a way that nether helps the story or seems like he understands the tech.
I wont spoil what plot is here but suffice to say it bends over backwards to come up with reasons that Artie is the ONLY person who can fix the worlds problems and that NO ONE else can do what he dose
Ultimately its a hallow book that the author admits was meant to be the basis of a game but shouldn't have been a game or a book.
