Is there an update on this novel? Does anyone have any current information? I like his theory of orange pilling through fiction, but with a title like that it had better be exceptional.
OK. I'm now on Chapter 8. I will finish the novel and write a review. But, I must fess up to being a pretentious jerk in my initial comments. The author wrote this novel to orange pill normies, and I'm starting to realize he did a good job. I judged it way too quickly. He has created a brisk page turner, and I'm certainly wondering what happens next. He has some clever plot lines that very effectively teach what's so revolutionary about bitcoin. I feel bad about my snobby first impressions.
I do still hate the title.
Yes, I was following this project and read the book when it was released.
Overall, I think it's a good example of bitcoin fiction, and could introduce thriller readers to the concept.
The structure and pace of the book was excellent and the idea was sound.
I felt the plot had quite a few unlikely moments and unexplained elements which pushed the bounds of my belief.
I think with a pro fiction editor and traditional publishing production (better title, better cover), this book could have been excellent. I don't mean that as a dig at the author. As I said, I think it is one of the best bitcoin fiction books out there.
I'm about half way through now and I agree with your assessment. So many bitcoiners love The Mandibles. If so, they will think this is Anna Karenina. The writing and storytelling is much better.
Mandibles is a good book but a shit novel. No real story, poorly drawn characters. But it is a visceral presentstion which really sparks a reaction.
I'm about to answer my own question. I think he changed the name and published the book:
https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Bourgeoisie-Michael-R-Sullivan/dp/B0FS285DYC
Has anyone read it? I hate the title. Apparently his publisher did too.
Not read and not sure I would based on the synopsis. Hope someone pops up with a review.
I read the first chapter last night. I want to reserve judgment. I can tell already it's not my kind of book, but lots of really popular novels are not my kind of book. It starts off as a bit formulaic murder mystery. Seed phrases carved into the victims' chests seems a little over the top.
Let us know how it turns out!
I will.
Lol.
Writing "the great Bitcoin novel" is certainly a nice aspiration, but actually naming your novel that wouldn't work out. Imagine Dostoevsky naming Crime and Punishment, "The Great Russian Novel." It'd be more than a little presumptuous.
Exactly my thoughts. He decided to name it Blood Of The Bourgeoisie instead! Maybe even worse. But I'm going to read it with an open mind. I really want to see good bitcoin fiction
