Radicalized Is a Canada Reads Finalist

Canada Reads is a contest sponsored by the CBC in which panelists debate which of five books should be the book that Canada reads. It's very popular and draws a lot of notice for the CBC and the finalists. This year, they've picked Cory Doctorow's latest book, Radicalized, as one of the finalists.
My 2019 book Radicalized has been named one of the five finalists for Canada Reads, the CBC's annual book prize -- Canada's leading national book award, alongside of the Governor General's award!
My book was nominated by Akil Augustine, a beloved Canadian sportscaster and storyteller, and he'll be championing the book through the Canada Reads process between now and March, when the winner is announced!
As Cory points out, you can read "Unauthorized Bread", one of the stories for free online at Ars Technica or listen to an audio excerpt.

I heard him read from and discuss this book last year in Toronto and I highly recommend it.
