Leo Heinrich’s foray into internet wealth continues to curdle and crumble under the increasingly bizarre Justine and Dieter Launders, two self-deluded antique collectors, closeout shoppers, name-droppers and #2 ploppers. What’s worse than listing and shipping hundreds of moldy magazines at midnight, instead of launching 1,000 websites, in a middle-of-nowhere, slowly-going-under antique store? (Spoilers) Leo’s about to find out as he entertains the dumbest death threat of his life, finds a mysterious package at the foot of the stairs, entertains a nature-loving, tick-laden counterconspiracy (was there a conspiracy to start with?!?) and commiserates with an unhappily jailed Massachusetts cheese aficionado. (end spoilers) The Network That Never Was is a true story about an internet failure that aimed to overtake Google, Microsoft, eBay, Amazon, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Plurk, you name it. If you like this chapter, please consider checking out The Network That Never Was book on Kindle. It really means a lot. Please also consider subscribing. I’ll be very happy to get the next chapter out soon if you can just let me know you listen. Thanks!
