And may I suggest also, Chapter 5 of 'Systems Ultra' (Verso) on payment processors and the adult industry? :)
If you watched the first episode of the new season of Industry may I suggest you also watch the Wirecard documentary on Netflix? No reason!

The 20mm Oerlikon cannon was a deadly weapon in the right hands. It also made a fantastic climbing frame for cats, as Pussy and Mickey are demonstrating on Polish merchant ship SS Kordecki off Normandy, summer 1944.

And whilst I'm here! If you're thinking of buying SYSTEMS ULTRA as a festive gift (neon cover also doubles as SAD lamp), I'd be happy to mail you a set of bookmarks and holographic stickers to go along with it - please get in touch [1/4]
Systems Ultra! 'A delight to read' says MIT Tech Review. Despite aiming for a work that wasn't bound to the present moment (no AI / algorithms), the parts on payment platforms, automotive technology, adult entertainment, supply chains, have proved horribly timely www.versobooks.com/en-gb/produc...

The appropriate reparations for centuries of extractive colonialism is freely providing the resources — technology, tools, money — to build out local renewable energy infrastructure globally, so that every human community has access to energy ample to meet all their needs so they can thrive.
