    I've been reading Means of Control by Byron Tau. It's the culmination of his reporting work on how the government aquires an unfathomable amount of data from a range of sources, all of which isn't illegal but extremely secretive and morally grey, to conduct an astonishing amout of serveilance on people in the Middle East, in the United States, and anywhere else it wanted. It also shows how your phone might be collecting data for the U.S. government, the horrifying vulnerability of things like your Bluetooth headphones, and how your car can generate useful data for espionage. It's a really great book that will have you making a tinfoil hat two chapters in.

    I've been working on a fantasy novel. I've been world building for around 20 years and absolutely love it. To help my writing, I spun it into a table top RPG with my brother which is super fun. Life has gotten in the way recently and I'm looking to make time to get back to writing.

    That is excellent and I think your getting into video creation for all the right reasons. When things get hard and you get stuck or doubt your creative process/talent; remember that a stranger on the Internet supports you and encourages you to keep going.

    I'm reading The Late Shift: Letterman, Leno & The Network Battle For The Night by Bill Carter. This book was the basis of the HBO movie of the same name. I found the movie on Max and then had to reread my copy which I never finished. I recommend the follow up The War For Late Night: When Leno Went Early And Television Went Crazy which I originally read first.

    I'm also reading Last Call: The Rise And Fall Of Prohibition by Daniel Okrent.
