re: #170 Belafon

I’m reading the book. I haven’t read any hard boiled detective books before, so I’m not entirely sure how to compare them, but the author is doing a decent job of making the tech seem both a normal part of society, and at the same time showing how the dark side of its use would have evolved as well.

If it makes you want to read more hard boiled detective books, I highly recommend Raymond Chandler (1940’s) and Michael Connelly (1990’s to present). Both are set in SoCal. Walter Mosely’s main character (Easy Rawlins) isn’t quite as hard-boiled, but the settings and plot are still pretty noir (post-WWII, mostly black characters — about evenly split between native Angelenos and transplants from Louisiana.)
