My ebooks and audiobooks (from FSGxMCD, Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

That's not bunnie's only sweet hardware hack, of course. Check out the insanely clever design for a contact-tracing dongle he prototyped for the EU in 2020:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/06/23/cryptocidal-maniacs/#trace-together

But really, you owe it to yourself to read bunnie at book length, and his best book is 2016's *The Hardware Hacker*, a tour-de-force, lay-friendly exegesis on the theory and practice of hardware hacking:

I'm not saying that small writing workshops of the sort that changed my life will work for *everyone*. But I *am* saying that teaching writing in huge lecture halls with assignments optimized for grading works for *no one*.

My ebooks and audiobooks (from FSGxMCD, Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

Pluralistic: Code is a liability (not an asset) (06 Jan 2026)

A shredder, shredding a giant US$100 bill. Benjamin Franklin's head has been replaced with a cliched 'hacker in a hoodie' illustration. The machine's faceplate bears the Claude Code wordmark. The background is the hostile red eye of HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.'
