I (was) wonder(ing) how it would compare to Westlake's matter-of-factly written book (over and out to the videothek:)

Really cool (plus lucky students)!

"the Big 5 will no longer reap the obscene profit margins... Their multimillion-dollar agreements with AI companies may be the last windfall. ... We can confront loss of access to expensive commercial journals by working together to move to a non-profit, community-governed publishing system."

#TASK ep5: Although I loved this series and its well-written plot, I find some choices confusing. For example, after realizing that Eryn is the mole, why did gang boss Perry go after her and not follow Robbie (who has the drugs)? He saw Robbie driving away from their secret meeting place!
