Good conscience follow-up to yesterday's book review on The Nerd Reich by Gil Duran. On one website where the review was posted, researcher, Shanley Kane, for the book advised me that her work went unaccredited & her name is nowhere mentioned in the book or any follow up interviews. My opinion 1/2

is that this is a horrible oversight & her work should be attributed. Had I known at the time of my review, I would have put in. I'm doing so now. Evidence for this claim can be found here: helpshanley.substack.com/p/did-gil-du... 2/2

From one of my long time mutuals on Twitter who writes a LOT about this stuff: "Having done some research and writing in this area it's inconceivable Gil Duran didn't refer to Shanley's site vcinfodocs for his Nerd Reich book."

This is one of the biggest developments in the generations of everyone alive today. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SUPPRESS INFORMATION ON THAT? Especially if you are marketing yourself as someone fighting tech fascism?

Gil Duran has nothing to say except lies, slander, distortion, ad hominem attacks, threats, weaponizing fascist attacks on me, misleading his readers about the nature of the argument.... He don't have shit because HE DID WHAT HE DID AND THERE'S PROOF.
