Ahh.. ok, now I know. "Her books and characters serve as the basis for
the internationally successful TV series Rebecka Martinsson." I've seen
an episode or two when visiting Stockholm, since my father really enjoys
criminal shows.

I didn't know it had become a TV series. Amazon has it for $18 for the
first year. I'll have to try it when I finish the 'Leverage' series.

'Leverage' is sort of apropos. It's a team of grifters and thieves that
take down people like corrupt insurance CEOs. They don't shoot them but
expose them and clean out their accounts to reimburse those that they
screwed.

 I'm currently watching Pantheon. It is animated, but I find it quite well researched when it comes to the transhumanist theme of mind uploading. I suspect the second season will not be as good as the first, and towards the end the quality dropped. But it has a good start!

   Alas, like time travel, the more you think about
   'mind uploading' the more improbable it seems.
   'Mind' is COMPLICATED ... and there's more than
   just neurons involved. 'Mind' is an 'environment'.
   As for "Robin Hoods" - there are many ways of looking
   at that paradigm. Who "deserves" what ... not so easy.
