I read the Children of Time Series by Adrian Tchaikovsky after Remembrance of Earth's Past and really enjoyed both.

Mine is https://www.chrisvogt.me. It's been my online experiment space since 2012. Right now it's a dashboard/blog showing data pulled from my social profiles on Goodreads, Instagram, and GitHub.

I read Levy's "Hackers..." in 2015 and also strongly recommend it. I also recommend "Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet" [1], which ties in to a lot of the same stories.

I get follows from obvious bots (bio: "click here for 5000 follows") very regularly on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Instagram almost always removes the account, Facebook has always responded the account "doesn't violate the rules", and Twitter I'm not sure about, but I always block and report that garbage.
