The femcel crypto-degen catalog model and the serial killer – Read Max

Greetings from Read Max HQ, and welcome to our weekly roundup column, in which I pick out some worthwhile and often overlooked books, articles, movies, and music to recommend to paying subscribers. For this week’s round-up, I’ve got:
A round-up of the articles and columns I’m reading about the little Chinese A.I. that blew up Silicon Valley this week; and
a phenomenal, deeply unsettling movie about a the internet, true crime, cryptocurrency, gambling addiction, the dark web, and femcels; and
a lovely new album of Radiohead-esque multi-instrumental chamber rock from Nourished By Time’s favorite songwriter.
