I wonder if that is pairing with this: archive.md/7nWV1 (article: America is Now One Big Bet on AI)

Over-leveraged and teetering on the brink.

Just a little over three weeks until I make the move to Montréal, and I'm still raising funds to cover expenses and my future tuition.

Any help would be appreciated.

I finished my read in the middle of the night.

Listen, I don't mean to overstate my case, but this could very well be the best gothic paranormal fantasy novella to come out in 2025, and if you miss out on that, ghosts might haunt your underwear drawer

And not in like a sexy way

We think there's some weird things going on in Canada...

We know for sure that the price shouldn't be AU$50 on amazon au - that's double what we set it as!! Ingramspark has printing facilities here - why is the book shipping from the UK??

Please DM us if you're experiencing similar issues.

the amazon.com.au listing for Sophia Turner's book Machines of Consent showing the price is at AU$50.77 and the book is shipping from the UK

Hey all -

We're noticing some strange pricing for the paperback in some countries/storefronts. If you're interested in a paperback book but are finding prices high in your area, send a DM to me or @transistance.press and we'll see what we can do. 💕

Started reading this last night and from go you can see Sophia’s got the juice. Muscular prose, propulsive dialog, and the story has more hooks than a tacklebox!

Gosh it's almost like it was meant to just look cool when they did the flash effect rather than being a useful martial art 😅
