Finally, my paper copy of #redteamblues by @pluralistic arrived. Still had to free it from customs, thanks to the EU copies being shipped from the UK. 0,11 EUR for tax, and a 5 EUR lump sum for the import without the IOSS system. Thanks, #brexitreality.
Fortunately, the immaterial contents reached me a while back in .epub format and I much enjoyed the read.

Btw the "I much enjoyed the read" part is a serious endorsement for #redteamblues, the first of the Martin Hench novels, the protagonist being an aging technologist… Perhaps not the best analogy genre-wise, but it rang something Paul Auster Man in the Dark, among the expected near future SF themes. Much looking forward to the rest of the series, e.g. #TheBezzle https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865892/thebezzle…

@type @pluralistic I am worried that mine is also stuck with Postnord here in #Sweden, no way to figure out :(

@type @pluralistic Shouldn't that be only for books more expensive than 22 euros? BTW, before the EU, books were not taxed on import here in Croatia regardless of the origin. Or I may be mixing it with Yugoslavia. :D

@vlatkojk @pluralistic the customs free first 22 EUR rule has been abandoned by 2021-07-01 EU wide…
