Bleeding EdgeIt is 2001 in New York City, in the lull between the collapse of the dot com boom and the terrible events of September 11th. Silicon Alley is a ghost town, Web 1. 0 is having adolescent angst, Google has yet to IPO, Microsoft is still considered the Evil Empire.

It is 2001 in New York City, in the lull between the collapse of the dot-com boom and the terrible events of September 11th. Silicon Alley is a ghost town, Web 1.0 is having adolescent angst, Google has yet to IPO, Microsoft is still considered the Evil Empire. There may not be quite as much money around as there was at the height of the tech bubble, but there's no shortage of swindlers looking to grab a piece of what's left. Maxine Tarnow is running a nice little fraud investigation business on the Upper West Side, chasing down different kinds of small-scale con artists. She used to be legally certified but her license got pulled a while back, which has actually turned out to be a blessing because now she can follow her own code of ethics--carry a Beretta, do business with sleazebags, hack into people's bank accounts--without having too much guilt about any of it. Otherwise, just your average working mom--two boys in elementary school, an off-and-on situation with her sort of semi-ex-husband Horst, life as normal as it ever gets in the neighborhood--till Maxine starts looking into the finances of a computer-security firm and its billionaire geek CEO, whereupon things begin rapidly to jam onto the subway and head downtown. She soon finds herself mixed up with a drug runner in an art deco motorboat, a professional nose obsessed with Hitler's aftershave, a neoliberal enforcer with footwear issues, plus elements of the Russian mob and various bloggers, hackers, code monkeys, and entrepreneurs, some of whom begin to show up mysteriously dead. Foul play, of course. With occasional excursions into the DeepWeb and out to Long Island, Thomas Pynchon, channeling his inner Jewish mother, brings us a historical romance of New York in the early days of the internet, not that distant in calendar time but galactically remote from where we've journeyed to since. Will perpetrators be revealed, forget about brought to justice? Will Maxine have to take the handgun out of her purse? Will she and Horst get back together? Will Jerry Seinfeld make an unscheduled guest appearance? Will accounts secular and karmic be brought into balance? Hey. Who wants to know? The Washington Post"Brilliantly written... a joy to read... Bleeding Edge is totally gonzo, totally wonderful. It really is good to have Thomas Pynchon around, doing what he does best." (Michael Dirda) Slate.com
"If not here at the end of history, when? If not Pynchon, who? Reading Bleeding Edge, tearing up at the beauty of its sadness or the punches of its hilarity, you may realize it as the 9/11 novel you never knew you needed... a necessary novel and one that literary history has been waiting for." The New York Times Book Review
Exemplary... dazzling and ludicrous... Our reward for surrendering expectations that a novel should gather in clarity, rather than disperse into molecules, isn't anomie but delight." (Jonathan Lethem) Wired magazine
"The book's real accomplishment is to claim the last decade as Pynchon territory, a continuation of the same tensions -- between freedom and captivity, momentum and entropy, meaning and chaos -- through which he has framed the last half-century."

Anker MacBook Pro Charger, Compact and Foldable 100W USB C Charger
Color: Arctic White
Perfect Blend of Power, Portability, and Reliability
After using the Anker 100W USB-C Charger with my MacBook Pro for several weeks, I can confidently say this is one of the best third-party chargers I’ve owned. It combines everything I want in a charger: powerful performance, smart design, travel-friendly size, and the kind of reliability that makes you forget about constantly worrying whether your devices are charging correctly.
First and foremost, the charging power is excellent. My MacBook Pro charges just as quickly with this charger as it does with Apple’s official adapter, which is impressive considering how much smaller and lighter it is. Even while running demanding programs, I haven’t noticed any slowdown in charging speeds. The 100W output is more than enough for laptops, and it works equally well for tablets, phones, and even accessories like my Nintendo Switch. I like that I don’t have to carry multiple chargers anymore—this one compact brick handles them all without a problem.
The design is very thoughtful. The compact size immediately stands out. Compared to the bulkier Apple version, this Anker model takes up far less room in my bag, which is a big deal for someone who’s always on the go. The foldable prongs are another small detail that makes a huge difference. They flip in and out smoothly, and when folded, the charger doesn’t catch on anything or scratch my laptop or other gear. It feels designed with travel and everyday use in mind, which I really appreciate.
Another thing that deserves praise is the build quality. Anker has a strong reputation for durable products, and this charger lives up to that. The casing feels solid and well-made, and even after extended use it doesn’t get excessively hot. I’ve had cheaper chargers in the past that either overheated, felt flimsy, or started making buzzing noises after a while. This one inspires confidence every time I plug it in.
I’ve also tested it across multiple devices, not just my MacBook Pro. It fast-charges my iPad, my phone, and even my wireless earbuds with no issues at all. The intelligent power distribution seems to adjust perfectly depending on what I’m charging, so I don’t have to worry about damaging smaller devices or not getting enough juice for the bigger ones. It’s reassuring to know that I can toss this charger in my bag and it will handle whatever device I need, no matter where I am.
One area where this really shines is portability. I travel a lot, and carrying around the original MacBook charger always felt bulky and awkward. With this Anker charger, I save space and weight in my backpack without sacrificing performance. It’s so much easier to manage at airports, coffee shops, and co-working spaces. The foldable design just makes it that much neater to pack away.
Overall, this charger is an easy five stars for me. It has the speed and reliability of Apple’s charger, but in a smaller, smarter, and more portable package. Anker has nailed the balance between performance and convenience, and it’s a purchase I feel completely confident recommending to anyone who owns a MacBook Pro or any USB-C device that requires higher wattage. If you want one charger that can do it all, this is the one.

Works well, good price.
Color: Arctic White
Effective, fast charging. A little big and heavy but still lighter than a standard Mac charger. Works on my Macbook and my android. Got my Macbook from 0% to 50% in about 30 minutes, while I was using it.

Reliable and Convenient Fast Charger!
Color: Black
I recently purchased the 100W USB-C Charger from Anker, specifically the PIQ 3.0 Compact and Foldable model, and I must say that it has exceeded my expectations in several aspects. Here's why I believe it deserves four stars:
First and foremost, the charging speed is impressive. With 100W of power, this charger is capable of rapidly charging a variety of devices. Whether it's a smartphone, tablet, or even a laptop, the Anker USB-C Charger gets the job done quickly and efficiently. The PIQ 3.0 technology ensures optimized charging for compatible devices, saving me precious time and keeping my devices ready to go.
The compact and foldable design is a standout feature of this charger. It takes up minimal space, making it perfect for travel or everyday use. The foldable prongs allow for easy storage and protect them from damage when not in use. Its lightweight and portable nature make it convenient to carry in a bag or pocket, ensuring I have reliable charging wherever I go.
The build quality of the charger is top-notch. The materials used feel durable and sturdy, giving me confidence in its longevity. Anker is known for its high-quality products, and this charger lives up to that reputation. I appreciate the attention to detail in its design and construction.
Another positive aspect of this charger is its compatibility with a wide range of devices. Whether it's USB-C or USB-A, this charger can handle it all. The versatility it offers is a definite advantage, as I can charge multiple devices simultaneously without the need for separate chargers.
Anker's commitment to safety is evident in this product. The charger incorporates multiple safety features, such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, and temperature control. This gives me peace of mind knowing that my devices are being charged safely without the risk of any damage.
While the Anker 100W USB-C Charger has exceeded my expectations in many ways, I feel there is room for improvement. The inclusion of a USB-C to USB-C cable would have been a nice addition, as it would provide a complete package for charging devices. Additionally, a travel pouch or case to keep the charger and cable organized during travel would be highly appreciated.
In conclusion, the Anker 100W USB-C Charger, PIQ 3.0 Compact and Foldable model, is a reliable and convenient fast charger that delivers on its promises. Its impressive charging speed, compact design, and wide compatibility make it an excellent choice for anyone in need of a powerful and portable charging solution. With its sturdy build quality and safety features, I have no hesitation in recommending this charger.

Great charger, works as intended.
Color: Black
Works great, I’m able to use my Legion Go S docked to my TV with this charger whereas a 65W charger it would slowly discharge. Highly recommend for PC handheld users.
