I den andra delen av Algoritmens serie om e-böckerna berättar vi om revolutionens baksida. I februari 2019 avslöjades e-boksbranschens hittills största skandal när det upptäcktes att den egenutgivna, bästsäljande författaren Cristiane Serruyas bokkatalog innehöll plagierade texter från minst 100 andra böcker. Vi berättar bland annat om romance-detektiverna på Twitter, hemliga spökskrivare, och algoritmen som knäckte fallet.

In this episode we spill the tea about #CopypasteCris and break down all the drama. Of course we go into our girl Nora Roberts and then we devolve into more bull. Books and Bull: An incoherent rambling from two authors hopped up on caffeine. A full range of books...but mostly bull. Warning: This podcast contains vulgar language, gratuitous nudity, is highly offensive to literally everyone, and is not for the faint of heart. Listen at your own risk.
