Pimple

Ryan Weeks

Summary

Annie O’Mahony, the disillusioned former founder of a “FinTech” (financial technology) business, is a tech evangelist. Having seen her last firm, Millennial Credit, taken over by a high street bank, she’s looking for a fresh challenge: an industry where technology can be the cure-all. 
She lands, quite unexpectedly, on the sex trade. With the help of her closest friend Veronica, Annie sets about building an Uber for prostitution – an app she names Pimple. 
As her story progresses, and the app’s user-base begins to swell, dangerous syndicates of pimps begin to push back against it, in what quickly morphs into a violent struggle between the old and the new. The police wrestle with the righteousness of the app’s rise to prominence, while its founders are soon forced to contend with the morality of what they’ve created. 
Pimple is the fictitious tale of the rise of this technology, and of the inevitable disruption that it brings about

At the Water's Edge - A Walk in...

John Lister-Kaye

“This wonderful collection of wildlife encounters will make anyone want to pull on their boots and re-discover the world on our doorsteps.”—Kate Humble, TV host & author 
 
For the last thirty years, naturalist John Lister-Kaye has taken the same circular walk from his home deep in a Scottish glen up to a small hill loch. Each day brings a new observation or an unexpected encounter—a fragile spider’s web, an osprey struggling to lift a trout from the water or a woodcock exquisitely camouflaged on her nest—and every day, on his return home, he records his thoughts in a journal. 
 
Drawing on this lifetime of close observation, At The Water’s Edge encourages us to look again at the nature around us, to discover its wildness for ourselves and to respect and protect it. 
 
“A delight.”—Country Life 
 
“This is a quiet but rousing call to action for anyone who loves the natural world and wants to help preserve it.”—Sunday Telegraph 
 
“I’d put it in the hands of anyone who ever enjoyed a day out in the fresh air, even those who don’t think they like the countryside: they’ve got to be seduced by this prose.”—BBC Radio Scotland 
 
“Beautifully observed and rich in description, the book sounds too with an urgent voice, warning of what will be lost to us should we continue to take too little action to protect the natural world.”—Esther Woolfson, author of Field Notes from a Hidden City 
 
“A thoughtful analyst of the evolutionary interplay between human being and animal.”—The Times

And what does all this have to do with ICO anyway? In this audiobook, you will learn new things you might have never thought of before.
Litecoin - Several cryptocurrencies are fighting to be first in line, and although Bitcoin is the largest, most expensive one at this moment, there may be other opportunities people have overlooked. Litecoin is one of those. With Litecoin, there are great possibilities. Hence the purpose of this guide: to enlighten you and show you the way regarding this currency.
Bitcoin Trading - People have been talking about it for a while now. They used to say it’s a scam, it’s for nerds, or it will disappear in a year or two. Well, now some of those skeptics have joined the mining and trading game themselves.
Bitcoin Tools - Aside from all the basic “bitcoin for beginners” books, this book shares a different perspective by looking at the specific tools you can use, such as blockchain and charting tools, to mine and buy bitcoin, and cash on it big time at the right time!
Bitcoin Business - The Bitcoin hype has blown up and it’s still a great opportunity to invest or buy cryptocurrencies. How long it will last, nobody knows. But if you know what you’re doing, you can definitely increase your income. This book is there to guide you to make the right decisions. It focuses specifically on the business side of it, and whether or not you can make a return on investment.
