Saturday linkdump, part the sixth

On September 12 at 7pm, I'll be at Toronto's Another Story Bookshop with my new book The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation.

On September 14, I'm hosting the EFF Awards in San Francisco.

I usually write this blog 5-6 days/week, but every now and again, I take a break, and when I do, I get massive link backlogs of stuff I want to write about, but lack the time to address in depth. When that happens, I turn my Saturday edition into a linkdump. Today, I present the sixth in the series – here's the other five:

https://pluralistic.net/tag/linkdump/

Why was I offline and away from my blog? I went to the dirt rave. Yes, I was one of the 70,000+ people stuck in the mud at this year's Burning Man, and when I emailed my editor at the New York Times to say I might be late on the op-ed I was working on, she asked me to write about what this year's mud crisis meant:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/06/opinion/burning-man-flood-playa-climate-change.html

tl;dr:

Bad weather is normal at Burning Man (it's a feature, not a bug);

Mostly burners leapt to the occasion, which is what people almost always do in disaster situations;

This is the second Burning Man heavy weather year in a row;

The climate emergency is tipping the Black Rock Desert from "extremely challenging" to "impossible";

This isn't the last event, place and tradition that will have to be radically reconsidered in light of the climate emergency;

But now I'm home, in my hammock, with all the laundry done – just in time to leave again. I'm about to head back to my hometown of Toronto for a book launch. The Internet Con, my latest nonfiction (from Verso Books) came out last week, and I'll be appearing at Another Story Bookshop on Tuesday:

https://anotherstory.ca/events/29283

Internet Con is a "Big Tech disassembly manual." It explains how Big Tech got so big (lax anti-monopoly enforcement, which led to regulatory capture, which let Big Tech abuse our privacy, labor rights, and consumer rights), and how we can use interoperability so it's no longer Too Big to Fail, nor Too Big to Jail:

https://www.versobooks.com/products/3035-the-internet-con

You can read a long excerpt from the book in Wired, which lays out some of the shovel-ready legislative, regulatory and technical proposals that are the book's main purpose:

https://www.wired.com/story/the-internet-con-cory-doctorow-book-excerpt/

You can also hear me read the whole introduction and first chapter of the audiobook on my podcast:

https://craphound.com/internetcon/2023/08/01/the-internet-con-how-to-seize-the-means-of-computation-audiobook-outtake/

That comes from the audiobook, a DRM-free, independent edition that I financed, produced and narrated myself. You can get the audiobook everywhere except Audible, Apple Books, and Audiobooks.com, all of which have mandatory DRM policies. You can also get it direct from me:

https://transactions.sendowl.com/products/78992826/DEA0CE12/purchase

The DRM-free ebook is available everywhere ebooks are sold (Kobo, Kindle, Nook, etc), as well as in my own DRM-free ebook store:

https://transactions.sendowl.com/products/78992801/9C4FC2B8/purchase

Verso's books are sold in bookstores around the world; you can support your local bookseller by buying it through Bookshop:

https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-internet-con-how-to-seize-the-means-of-computation-cory-doctorow/18771891?ean=9781804291245

If you'd like a signed copy, there's stock at Book Soup:

https://www.booksoup.com/book/9781804291245

Now, it was inevitable that I would do a book event for Internet Con in Toronto – I've never had a bad event there, and I love my hometown – but the timing of this event was driven by a non-book-related factor. Talking Heads is appearing together at TIFF, to support the re-release of Stop Making Sense, the greatest concert film in human history:

https://pluralistic.net/StopMakingSense

People often ask me what my favorite book is, and I always tell them that you should never trust people who have one favorite book, as it inevitably turns out to be The Bible, The Fountainhead, or Mein Kampf. But while I don't have a favorite book, I have a clear and unambiguous favorite band.

If I was forced to listen to no music other than Talking Heads for the rest of my life, I would be perfectly happy. Ecstatic, even. Throw in David Byrne, Tom Tom Club and Casual Gods and I probably wouldn't even notice anything missing.

There's a running joke among my Burning Man campmates that whenever I'm in charge of the music, I'm just shuffling Talking Heads rarities, and whenever someone puts on anything else, I demand to know which Talking Heads album it came from. Which is all to say: I have tickets for the Talking Heads event at TIFF and I could *not be more excited.*

Continuing on the Canadian theme, one of the annual highlights of Canadian media is the Massey Lectures, a series of public lectures given around the country and rebroadcast on CBC. These are always great, but recent years have been superb – Ron Deibert's 2020 series was unmissable:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/11/10/dark-matter/#citizenlab

This year's Masseys are shaping up to be the GOAT. They're presented by Astra Taylor, an activist rock-and-roller turned documentary filmmaker who is one of the founders of the Debt Collective, fighting for student debt cancellation. Everything Astra does is amazing and her profile on CBC Ideas gives some background on the role that unschooling played in making her the powerful activist she is today:

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/astra-taylor-interview-2023-massey-lecturer-1.6959320

There's no question that things are messed up right now, but Astra and people like her shine out like beacons of hope. 17 years ago, self-described "democracy nut" Tom Stites gave one of the seminal lectures on the role news media play in democracy:

http://citmedia.org/blog/2006/07/03/guest-posting-is-media-performance-democracys-critical-issue/

17 years later – and from his perch as editor at the essential International Consortium of Investigative Journalists – Stites presents us a long-overdue, extremely pertinent followup: "Building Civic Energy is the Goal, Not Saving Old News Business Models":

https://banyanproject.coop/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Hope-College-speech-for-Banyan-website-1.pdf

Stites's intervention is extremely timely, because policymakers all over the world have made the mistake of thinking that Big Tech is stealing the news media's content, which is absolutely untrue. It is good, actually, to index news stories and let people discuss, quote from and link to news stories. News you're not allowed to talk about isn't news, it's a secret.

But Big Tech is stealing from news. They're not stealing content – they're stealing money. The Google/Apple duopoly rakes 30% off every subscription payment collected in an app. The Google/Meta duopoly rakes 51% out of every ad-dollar (and maintain that death-grip through creepy, privacy-invading surveillance ads). Meta and Twitter hold social media subscribers hostage, forcing publishers to pay to reach their own subscribers.

We don't want the news to be Big Tech's partners – we need them to be Big Tech's watchdogs. "Link taxes" and other profit-sharing arrangements between the media and tech cut against the civic energy Stites wants to build.

(You can read more about this – along with policy prescriptions for halting Big Tech's rent-extraction from the news – in "Saving the News From Big Tech," my EFF white-paper:)

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/saving-news-big-tech

If your spirits are lifted by stories of principled activists achieving important – and improbable – victories, you could do worse than to attend the EFF Awards on in San Francisco Sept 14 (I'm the emcee). This year, we're honoring Alexandra Elbakyan for her founding of Sci-Hub, the Library Freedom Project and the Signal Foundation:

https://www.eff.org/awards/effawards/2023

In more activist news: Mozilla produced a startling and astoundingly good – if demoralizing – report on the state of digital privacy and security in the automotive sector:

https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/

Entitled, "It’s Official: Cars Are the Worst Product Category We Have Ever Reviewed for Privacy," the report reveals just how absolutely terrible the automotive sector is when it comes to privacy practices, collecting (and selling) (and giving away) information about your sex life, your geneology, your genetic characteristics, and your smell (no, seriously).

Their recommendations for which new car you should buy boil down to "don't buy a new car." I have been urging consumer research groups to release a report like this for a decade. There are whole categories of gadgets – like, say, "smart speakers" – that are unsafe at any speed. At a certain point, reviewers need to have the guts to say that every manufacturer in an entire sector is a dumpster fire and they should all be dragged in front of a firing squad – or at least a Congressional committee.

Cars, after all, are nightmares of privacy invasion and rent-extraction, the source of autoenshittification on a massive scale, a mobile form of technofeudalism:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/24/rent-to-pwn/#kitt-is-a-demon

The fact that cars score so badly on privacy is especially ironic given the campaign Big Car waged against the 2020 Massachusetts Right to Repair ballot initiative, in which car manufacturers held themselves out as the defenders of driver privacy from unscrupulous third parties who couldn't be trusted to handle the vast troves of data your car collects with every hour that God sends:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/09/03/rip-david-graeber/#rolling-surveillance-platforms

This is a familiar refrain: monopolists often claim that any check on their absolute authority over their users will expose those users to privacy risks. Apple has run a global ad-campaign claiming this, and while Apple does prevent Facebook from spying on iPhone owners, they also secretly spy on those customers in exactly the same way that Facebook used to, and lie about it:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/14/luxury-surveillance/#liar-liar

It turns out that giant companies just aren't good proxies for their customers' interests, and that the power they amass through monopolization shouldn't be counted on as a source of user safety. Monopolists won't reliably defend user privacy – that job belongs to democratically accountable regulators. That's an argument I developed in detail with Bennett Cyphers in our EFF white-paper "Privacy Without Monopoly":

https://www.eff.org/wp/interoperability-and-privacy

That is, rather than getting privacy by "voting with your wallet," you need to get it by voting with your ballot. "The market" is an election that you vote in with dollars, which means that the people with the most dollars always win. When there are zero cars on the market that are safe to drive, you can't vote with your wallet by buying a good one.

On a related subject, the DOJ Antitrust Division has brought the most important tech anti-monopoly case of the century, charging Google with monopolizing search:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/06/technology/modern-internet-first-monopoly-trial-us-google-dominance.html

Part of the DOJ case turns on the fact that Google goes to extraordinary lengths to keep you from every trying another search engine, paying out more than $45 billion every year to be the default search on every device, program and service you might use. In other words, Google spends entire Twitter's worth of dollars every year, lighting it on fire to keep you from finding out about rivals.

Google argues that this is fine, actually, because these are only defaults, and users can dig through their settings to change their search engine. Sure, Google – and the first 20 search results you serve are only defaults, and it wouldn't matter if you were ordered to put them ten screens down, because users could always scroll to see them.

But search defaults aren't the only way that Google locks in searchers – and then harms us by invading our privacy. Google's ubiquitous Chrome browser ties Google's search to Google's invasive, nonconsensual, total surveillance. Chrome turned 15 this year and Google made a huge PR splash out of the anniversary:

https://blog.google/products/chrome/google-chrome-new-features-redesign-2023/

But all that puffery conspicuously failed to mention that Google had quietly rolled out its long-discredited, new surveillance technology, FLOC, which it pretended to kill in 2021:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/04/22/ihor-kolomoisky/#not-that-competition

FLOC is back, rebranded as the Topics API: this is a system for spying on you so advertisers can target you. Google is spinning this as a privacy improvement because it might someday replace "third party cookies," one of the creepiest web surveillance systems.

But as Ron Amadeo writes for Ars Technica, Chrome is the last major browser to support third party cookies – both Safari and Firefox block them by default. So Google is basically saying, "We are going to improve your privacy by changing how we spy on you, even though all our competitors don't do this kind of spying at all":

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/09/googles-widely-opposed-ad-platform-the-privacy-sandbox-launches-in-chrome/

This kind of gaslighting, where Google pisses in all our mouths and tells us it's raining, is the hallmark of a decrepit, arrogant, crapulent monopolist that needs to be shattered in the courts. Kudos to the DoJ for doing the people's business here – and kudos to DoJ antitrust boss Jonathan Kanter for promising that he will not go into corporate law when he finishes his stint in government.

The DoJ isn't the only public agency that's serving the American people. The FCC just announced proceedings to force cybersecurity labels for "smart" devices:

https://www.fcc.gov/consumer-governmental-affairs/fcc-proposes-cybersecurity-labeling-program-smart-devices

This is long overdue, and it's a welcome action from the FCC, which was hamstrung for years because cowardly Democratic senators joined with homophobic, libelous Republicans in blocking confirmation hearings for the amazing Gigi Sohn:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/12/15/useful-idiotsuseful-idiots/#unrequited-love

After years of abuse, Sohn bowed out. Now, Anna Gomez has been confirmed to fill that fifth FCC chair, turning the FCC into a fully operational battle station:

https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/senate-votes-approve-anna-gomez-5th-fcc-commissioner

The fact that there's all this great stuff going on in the administrative branch is easy to lose sight of amidst the circus of federal electoral politics, in which Donald Trump has retained his role as ringmaster and chief distractor.

Thankfully, we have expert Pantsless Emperor skewerers like Ruben Bolling around – his latest Tom the Dancing Bug revives his brilliant Calvin and Hobbes-inspired Trump gag:

https://boingboing.net/2023/09/06/tom-the-dancing-bug-a-calvinesque-and-hobbesian-look-at-taking-a-mug-shot.html

Well, that's me signing off for the weekend – I've got to pack for my flight to Toronto. If you're looking for more weekend fun, check out the trailer for Fractured Veil, the video game my old pal Chris DiBona has been working on for seven years and which is heading for Steam early access next month:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjNd3QQnENU

Just watch it. I mean. Wow.

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

Best Sellers in eBook Readers & Accessories: A Comprehensive Guide

In a world where digital technology is revolutionizing the way we consume content, eBook readers have carved a niche for themselves. These handy devices offer a compact, efficient way to carry and read thousands of books, making them a favorite among avid readers and tech enthusiasts alike. But as the market for eBook readers and their accessories continues to grow, it’s important to know which products stand out and why. This blog delves into the best sellers in eBook readers and accessories, exploring their use cases, importance, pros, and why they continue to be in high demand.

The Importance of eBook Readers

Portability and Convenience

One of the main reasons eBook readers have become so popular is their portability. Imagine carrying an entire library in your bag, without the weight or bulk. Whether you’re traveling, commuting, or simply relaxing at home, eBook readers provide a convenient way to access your favorite books.

Battery Life

Another significant advantage of eBook readers is their impressive battery life. Unlike tablets and smartphones, which require frequent charging, eBook readers like the Kindle can last for weeks on a single charge. This feature makes them ideal for long trips or for those who prefer uninterrupted reading.

Eye Comfort

eBook readers are designed with eye comfort in mind. Devices like the Kindle Paperwhite or Kobo Clara HD use e-ink technology, which mimics the appearance of ink on paper. This reduces eye strain, making it easier to read for extended periods. Some models even offer adjustable lighting and a night mode to further enhance the reading experience.

Best-Selling eBook Readers

1. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

The Kindle Paperwhite is arguably one of the most popular eBook readers on the market. Known for its high-resolution display and built-in adjustable light, it offers an exceptional reading experience both indoors and outdoors. The Paperwhite is also waterproof, making it a great companion for beach or poolside reading.

Use Cases:

Ideal for avid readers who want to read anywhere, anytime.

Perfect for travelers who need a lightweight device with long battery life.

Pros:

High-resolution e-ink display.

Waterproof design.

Long battery life.

Access to a vast library of eBooks on Amazon.

2. Kobo Clara HD

The Kobo Clara HD is another top contender in the eBook reader market. It features a 6-inch HD display with ComfortLight PRO, which reduces blue light exposure for nighttime reading. With its lightweight design and customizable reading settings, the Clara HD is a favorite among readers who value personalization.

Use Cases:

Great for readers who prefer a customizable reading experience.

Suitable for night readers due to its adjustable blue light settings.

Pros:

ComfortLight PRO for eye-friendly reading.

Lightweight and portable.

Supports a wide range of eBook formats.

3. Barnes & Noble Nook GlowLight 3

The Nook GlowLight 3 offers a seamless reading experience with its GlowLight illumination, which provides a warm light for evening reading. It also features physical page-turn buttons, catering to readers who prefer a more traditional reading feel.

Use Cases:

Ideal for readers who prefer physical buttons for page turning.

Perfect for nighttime reading with its adjustable glow light.

Pros:

Warm light for evening reading.

Physical page-turn buttons.

Supports multiple file formats.

Best-Selling Accessories for eBook Readers

1. Protective Cases

A protective case is an essential accessory for any eBook reader. These cases not only protect the device from scratches and drops but also add a personal touch. Popular options include the Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover and the Kobo SleepCover, both of which offer durable protection with style.

Use Cases:

Essential for protecting your eBook reader during travel or daily use.

Offers a customized look for your device.

Pros:

Protects against physical damage.

Enhances the device’s appearance.

Often includes a sleep/wake function to preserve battery life.

2. Reading Lights

For readers who own devices without built-in lighting, a reading light is a must-have accessory. Clip-on LED reading lights, like the Mighty Bright Rechargeable Light, provide ample illumination without disturbing others, making them perfect for nighttime reading.

Use Cases:

Ideal for reading in low-light environments.

Suitable for devices without built-in lights.

Pros:

Portable and easy to use.

Rechargeable options available.

Adjustable brightness levels.

3. Screen Protectors

Screen protectors are another popular accessory, designed to keep your eBook reader’s screen free from scratches and smudges. Brands like JETech and amFilm offer high-quality screen protectors that are easy to apply and maintain.

Use Cases:

Essential for maintaining screen clarity and preventing scratches.

Useful for readers who frequently carry their device in a bag or pocket.

Pros:

Protects the screen from damage.

Maintains touch sensitivity.

Easy to apply and remove.

4. Charging Accessories

While eBook readers typically have long battery lives, having a reliable charging accessory is still important. Options like the Anker PowerCore 10000 portable charger allow you to recharge your device on the go, ensuring you never run out of power during a reading session.

Use Cases:

Perfect for travelers who need extra power on the go.

Ideal for readers who often forget to charge their devices.

Pros:

Portable and lightweight.

High-capacity options available.

Compatible with multiple devices.

The Demand for eBook Readers and Accessories

The demand for eBook readers and their accessories continues to grow, driven by the increasing popularity of digital content consumption. As more people embrace eBooks for their convenience, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendliness, the market for these devices and their accompanying accessories is expected to expand further.

Pros of Owning an eBook Reader and Accessories

Cost-Effective: eBooks are generally cheaper than physical books, and many classic titles are available for free. Owning an eBook reader can lead to significant savings over time.

Eco-Friendly: By opting for eBooks, readers contribute to the reduction of paper usage and the carbon footprint associated with printing and shipping physical books.

Customization: eBook readers offer various customization options, such as font size, style, and background color, allowing users to tailor their reading experience.

Accessibility: eBook readers often come with features like text-to-speech, adjustable text sizes, and built-in dictionaries, making reading accessible to a broader audience, including those with visual impairments.

Conclusion

eBook readers and accessories have become essential tools for modern readers, offering unparalleled convenience, customization, and eco-friendliness. As the market continues to grow, the best-selling products like the Kindle Paperwhite, Kobo Clara HD, and their respective accessories, such as protective cases and reading lights, stand out for their quality and user satisfaction. Whether you’re a casual reader or a literary enthusiast, investing in a good eBook reader and its accessories can significantly enhance your reading experience.

What Is Kobo’s Natural Light Feature and How You Can Use It?

The Kobo eReader was launched by a Toronto-based Kobo Inc. Soon it becomes very popular among the booklovers. Since the device comes with lots of adjustable features. You can use each of them based on your needs for the comfort of your eyes and vision. For long readings on an ebook, it is quite essential to understand its day and night light mode adjusting features. This blog consists of the steps to help you for adjusting the natural Light Feature of your Kobo device. You can also contact Kobo Support Canada for required expert assistance.

The natural light function changes the color gradually on the screen to make reading more comfortable throughout the day. You can not even notice color changes to the screen when you read. The computer shows a little blue throughout the day. The light gradually changes as the day progresses, It contains orange candlelight and less blue. Blue light helps to alert you throughout the day, yet it can keep you awake at night. The Natural Light feature restricts the amount of blue light in the evening to make it easier for you to sleep. Blue light is even more convenient for the eyes when reading in low light or dark from the e-reader’s window.

Your eReader automatically blends the screen color for natural light. Color varies from night time viewing orange candles to daytime bright sunshine. The natural light feature may be manually changed to prevent your e-reader from adjusting the color of the show.

Go on the home screen of your device.

Tap the icon of brightness near the top screen.

Appears the selection with natural light settings.

Tap on the dropdown button next to Bedtime.

Choose the moment you normally will be heading to sleep.

Set the color of the screen:

Make sure the circular icon beside Auto is right for your eReader to automatically set the screen color.

Make sure the circular icon next to the Auto is facing the left.

To manually adjust your Natural light settings. Drag the circular icon to the sun icon to make the screen glisten white for reading during the daytime. Drag a circle icon to the moon icon to orange the screen to play at night.

Once you manually adjust your Natural Light settings, your eReader would not be able to automatically adjust the screen color according to the time of day.

Steps to adjust the screen brightness on your Kobo e-reader.

The brightness may be adjusted from or when reading your Home screen. Walk up or down the left edge of the screen during your reading. Tap the brightness icon at the top of the screen from your Home monitor, then move the Circle button to the left or the right under Brightness. The eReader changes device brightness automatically by chance. This allows you to maintain your preferred level of illumination automatically as your surrounding light changes. To turn this feature on or off, tap the circle icon next to Auto. If the circular icon is set to the right, this means the Auto function is enabled.

Today we have a special project underway, and I’m asking for your help with it. Our main publishing imprint, Raw Dog Screaming Press, is pushing the novel Hounds of the Underworld up the bestseller charts. We signed the writing team of Dan Rabarts and Lee Murray in the hopes of sharing their rich Maori and Chinese New Zealander take on dark fantasy and crime thrillers with audiences in the USA. Years later, as we prepare to publish the final book in the trilogy, we’re giving Hounds of the Underworld a renewed push. As a black co-owned and woman-co-owned company, we believe right now is the time to be reading something different. As our nation works to isolate itself from the outside world we’re working to maintain a connection to other nations. As we wonder what happened to our culture we seek to immerse our community in what other cultures have to offer. The $0.99 sale we’re running on the eBook edition of Hounds of the Underworld won’t last long. You might think that $0.99 isn’t worth it, and you want to throw in your support later when the book is back to being full price, but we’re working to build enough momentum that Amazon’s algorithm pushes the book to everyone who might be interested in the subject matter. Already it’s on three top bestseller lists on Amazon, and #1 in horror on Kobo, after just one day! Easy ways you can help us raise awareness for Lee and Dan today: *sharing with your network *gifting the book to the book lover in your life *writing a quick review if you’ve read Hounds of the Underworld *Buying a copy for yourself to enjoy later Dislike Amazon? No sweat! The book is on sale at a reduced price on all major platforms, but only for a short time. For my part, I plan to revisit the world Dan and Lee so meticulously created before the third installment, Blood of the Sun, is published later this year. It a brilliant, fun read, but hey — don't take my word for it, listen to these experts: "Rabarts and Murray (At the Edge) mix crime drama and horror in this lively, promising series launch set in a near-future Auckland, New Zealand...a delightful, refreshing spin on urban fantasy tropes." —Publishers Weekly "…a wild and gruesome treat, packed with mystery, action, and dark humor. Horror fans will devour it!" —Jeff Strand, author of Wolf Hunt "Filled with an incredible unity of voice and magnificent world-building, Hounds of the Underworld was impossible to put down. I was hooked on the first page." —Jake Bible, Bram Stoker Award-nominated novelist and author of Z-Burbia, Mega, and Salvage Merc One "A dark tech-noir so near to our future, it could be tomorrow, hard-boiled and hair-raising! One of the best speculative fiction novels ever written." —Paul Mannering, Engines of Empathy Every purchase or share from one of these retailers is a huge boost. Thank you for helping us further our efforts to bring more unique books to the United States market! Amazon: https://ift.tt/3cJu0d3 Apple Books: https://ift.tt/2MzzUCU Kobo: https://ift.tt/3eYOpfl Google Play: https://ift.tt/37235YC Nook: https://ift.tt/2Ug3yB7 From the Back Cover Winner of the 2018 Sir Julius Vogel Award for Best Novel On the verge of losing her laboratory, her savings, and all respect for herself, Pandora (Penny) Yee lands her first contract as scientific consult to the police department. And with seventeen murder cases on the go, the surly inspector is happy to leave her to it. Only she’s going to need to get around, and that means her slightly unhinged adopted brother, Matiu, will be doing the driving. But something about the case spooks Matiu, something other than the lack of a body in the congealing pool of blood in the locked room or that odd little bowl. Matiu doesn’t like anything about this case, from the voices that screamed at him when he touched that bowl, to the way his hateful imaginary friend Makere has come back to torment him, to the fact that the victim seems to be tied up with a man from Matiu’s past, a man who takes pleasure in watching dogs tear each other to pieces for profit and entertainment. Hounds of the Underworld blends mystery, near-future noir and horror. Set in New Zealand it’s the product of a collaboration by two Kiwi authors, one with Chinese heritage and the other Māori. This debut book in The Path of Ra series offers compelling new voices and an exotic perspective on the detective drama. by John Lawson

(Fairly) cheap high-tech gifts

High-tech gifts can be pricey and it can also be tough to figure out what’s actually gift-worthy with so many products to choose from. Here's a short holiday gift guide: a few high-tech gifts for less than $500.

I’ve had hands-on time with every one of these recommendations, and reviewed most of them for publications. Some you’ll recognize, some aren’t the mass-market electronics you’ll find on big box shelves (real gift surprise potential with these), and a few have just launched in time for this Christmas season.

If you want a high impact, high-tech gift to give someone special, one of these is sure to please — without costing the equivalent of a mortgage payment.

Wireless earbuds have been a big thing this year. I have looked at several dozen sets of new wireless earbuds in 2018, but one really stands out from the pack: Jaybird Tarah Pro wireless sport headphones. Jaybird offers Tarah earbuds under $100, but for $60 more ($159.99) the Tarah Pros are easily one of the all-round best wireless earbuds on the market today. They are extremely comfortable, waterproof and feature premium touches like the fabric cable that connects the two buds. Audio quality is excellent and can be almost infinitely fine-tuned using the Jaybird app. They support Siri and Google Assistant. But the killer feature on these wireless earbuds is the 14-hour battery life. That’s 14 hours on a single charge, not the total capacity of the buds plus a charger case. And in my testing, the Tarah Pro earbuds actually exceeded 14 hours…

Como Audio’s $399 Amico is a portable wireless speaker for those who appreciate premium audio, and like to mix retro design with the latest technology. It looks nothing like most portable wireless speakers because there’s virtually no plastic in sight. The Amico is clad in real teak wood veneer, covering 1/2-inch marine-grade plywood for weather resistance. The amplifier powers a 3-inch, long-throw woofer (with rear bass port) and a soft dome tweeter for exceptional sound. The control knobs are anodized aluminium, and a remote control is included. There’s even a telescoping FM radio antenna. The Amico adds the latest high-tech features to those retro looks, including both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming (internet radio and Spotify Connect are fully integrated), multi-room support, a mobile app for iOS and Android, and an integrated 2.8-inch TFT colour display that shows info such as album art. The rechargeable battery is good for eight hours of portable use.

If you have a real reading fan on your holiday shopping list, the ultimate e-reader doesn’t come from Amazon, it’s the new Kobo Forma. I’ve been testing the $279.99 Kobo Forma for just three weeks and it’s already hands-down the best e-reader I’ve ever used. The high resolution E Ink Carta display is huge (8-inches). Yet the Forma feels thin and light, and the physical page turn buttons on the curved side make it easy to hold in one hand. Fonts and page layout can be tweaked to perfection with Type Genius, and Overdrive library e-book borrowing is built in. The e-reader is water resistant and perhaps my favorite feature is its adaptive ComfortLight PRO that automatically adjusts LED lighting temperatures through the day, becoming amber at night. Kobo’s own e-bookstore has over 5 million titles, and I find prices and selection are competitive with Amazon. If someone is already heavily invested in a purchased Kindle e-book library, then the Kobo Forma may not be a must, but otherwise it’s a sure hit for true hardcore readers.

Dashcams don’t come much better than the Thinkware F800 Pro. It makes a cool, high-tech gift that’s fun (YouTube video potential), and also extremely practical. The app-connected Thinkware F800 Pro offers advanced functions including collision notifications, vehicle location (via its built-in GPS) and geofencing. But this dashcam’s core mission — recording video while driving — is unbeatable thanks to use of a premium Sony STARVIS CMOS image sensor that delivers 1080p video with wide dynamic range, super night vision and an extended 140-degree field of view. Optional features include hardwiring to a vehicle (which adds the advantage of parking surveillance to keep tabs on a vehicle when not in use), and a rear camera to catch the action behind the vehicle. Not many people have the budget to give a new car as a gift, but the Thinkware F800 Pro also adds some of the latest high-tech safety features to any car: forward collision warning and lane departure warning.
