Tom Clancy’s CrowdStrike sounds like the kind of military fiction I’d accidentally buy from the thrift store
I’ll see what I can find for longer form stuff! the Marques Brownlee review is of course recommended listening if you haven’t yet — he really tore into the thing in a way they never recovered from.
