Doulle tres estreliñas ⭐ e non catro porque as dúas últimas historias parecéronme algo máis frouxas, pero déixanse ler mentras presentan escenarios non tan improbables.

As dúas primeiras parecéronme mellor compostas, con máis profundidade no relato e os personaxes mellor debuxados.

Fun comentando individualmente cada relato, mira na cronoloxía.

Si, o máis inquientante é que son historias que adquiren verosimilitude hoxe, non a medio prazo.

I still don't understand how encrytion works

4 stars

I went through a brief love affair with Doctorow. But the sweetly clunky how-to-do-X-techie-thing-to-bring-down-Y-bad-guy-slash-system got too clunky for me. And repetitive too.

These short stories were OK though. Maybe he's gotten better, or maybe it's been long enough between my readings. Either way in all his writing, I still don't understand how encryption and private/public keys work (not asking for an explanation).
