Greetings from Read Max HQ! Every week, sometimes on Fridays, sometimes on Sundays, and sometimes … on another day, I pick out some worthwhile and often overlooked books, articles, movies, and music to recommend to paying subscribers. This week I’ve got:

A cool sci-fi trilogy that moves from cyberpunk-noir to spy-mystery to … pirate-adventure (???)
A great ‘90s L.A. political-conspiracy neo-noir
A good album of experimental/ambiet jazz covers of ‘90s RnB standards
