But it became clear quite soWas I actually reading a thriller based on real-life events? That can't be that case, this story is too absurd to be true.
But it became clear quite soon that this is not fiction. This story has happened, and it's one of the many human rights abuse stories happening daily in Russia.
I always knew something is off with Russian politics, but never really understood just how messed up the whole system is. Ignorance is bliss, right?
If you are in a similar situation and fancy a fascinating and terrifying read, look no further....more

I always believed overworking is doing more harm and is less productive than having fewer, but more focused hours.

The author gets to Bitcoin only in the last part, the first is spent discussing the history of money and how central banks are shaping the world. I liked that he spent quite a lot of time explaining the potential ways Bitcoin can fail as well. Be aware, the author is really bullish on BTC ;) ...more

We live in a world where everything is connected to the internet. This gives hackers more surface than ever before to attack us, nation-states a vast battleground to advance their interests from the comfort of their homes and makes us extremely vulnerable in case we get hacked.
This book is a fascinating walkthrough of the major cyber hacks from the last 20+ years. Stuxnet, NotPetya, Wannacry, she has it all. And oh, if you read the book, you can also find out how the conspiracy theories around Bill Gates & the Covid pandemic might have gotten mainstream, amongst other gems from 2020.

On one part, it is heartbreaking what she and her family had to go through, and how horrible people can be.
On the other, it is a truly inspiring story about the choices we make in life and about the thoughts we put in our heads. With only one thought we can influence our lives in profound ways. It can be a difference between life and death. Between going forward and giving up. Love and hate.
No matter what stage are you in your life, give it a read, as it will be life-changing!...more

I especially like the style every chapter is structured. It starts with a story, then the interpretation of it, and then extra knowledge about the topic with smaller examples.
