I've known EFF executive director Cindy Cohn for 27 years. I met her when I needed cyberlaw advice for a startup I'd helped found. We got along so well that I ended up quitting the startup and going to work at EFF. Now, Cindy's memoir, *Privacy's Defender*, is on the shelves:

Cool. I bought one. I am thinking of writing a memoir myself. I probably won't get around to it. But in recent years I only read fiction recreationally and had been thinking I should reacqaint myself with the genre. Done!

@jawarajabbi @pluralistic I am still waiting for my copy to arrive, so will not read the thread in expectation that I am surprised by the book 😊
