I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

Edit: I just realized this was the scifi community. Whoops

I'm not sure anyone will complain too much.

How's it holding up? I didn't think the technology stuff would be relevant for very long.

I'm about half way through, and it's quite good! The way it's written, if you're not familiar with the cryptography tech, it sounds like scifi. The writing really is good.
