Available from Amazon.

Excerpt:
He straightened his shirt, which was already pressed neatly. “No, Bradley, bitcoins. As I was saying, bitcoins are a cryptocurrency, the most popular of many, and they allow users to send and receive payments over a decentralized encrypted network. They are the future of currency as we know it, so it would in fact behoove you to listen.”

Brad stretched back further in his chair, sneering at the tall, thin, impossibly serious, Atlas. Instead it was Brad’s cheerleader girlfriend Kayleigh who spoke. She sat at the front of the class, and Atlas had to concentrate not to be distracted by her long creamy legs clearly visible to him under the desk.


May be bought with Bitcoins if Bitmit comes back up.

(Real book, but only 30 pages.)

I've read the free sample from Amazon.  I'm curious, did you bother to ask Atlas if you could mock his personna in a book?  Or are you going to pretend that the character "Atlas" has no relation to forum members, real or imaginary?

And where did you get the title photo?

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

I'm not the author. I just think it's funny.

Atlas was trying his hand at writing before disappearing and, iirc, he mentioned writing a book. Maybe this is his autobiography Smiley

Doubtful.  The author has a history of writing smut.  Atlas didn't strike me as the kind of person that could convincingly or descriptively write about intercourse.  At least not human intercourse.

The title photo is standard clip art. It's appeared on at least two different album covers, according to Google Image Search.
