Ich hatte das selbe Problem, als ich versucht habe mich mit einem längeren Nutzernamen anzumelden. Hatte den Eindruck, dass es da einen Check gibt, der still gefailed ist. Selbe Symptomatik, keine Fehler oder requests verschickt - probier evtl. mal einen anderen oder kürzeren Namen?

I use authy on my phone, but also exported all 2fa codes to bitwarden. So on desktop I use that feature mostly.

dominiquec mentioned Philip K. Dick, which I can only second.

If you don’t need a high-stakes story i can recommend Down and out in the magic kingdom, great story about a post-scarcity society. Definitely stuck with me as one of the most optimistic future worlds I have ever read about. Not on Gutenberg, but availabe legally and for free is Accelerando, the story of a family and the Singularity.

I loved those books! In the beginning second person felt extremely weird, but the “resolution” of why it is written that way made so much sense that it made the books even more enjoyable IMO.

I just finished Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Great book, that not only coined terms like “avatar” and “metaverse” (for better or worse), but is also really well written. It somehow manages to find a tone that is consistent for the dystopian worldbuilding, the silly and self-aware things that happen in the world, and the philosophical aspect dealing with culture, religion and free will. Highly recommend!

This was the first book of him I read, but I will definitely check out his other works if they’re all like this!

I think it laid a lot of groundwork for books that came later. But as you said, not every book is for everybody.

Started playin monster train. It scratches the itch of finishing something in 1-2 hours and while they’re very similar I feel like it’s a bit more forgiving than “slay the spire”.
