We can't wait to welcome Cory Doctorow to Blackwell's to discuss his latest novel PICKS AND SHOVELS and his wider work as an author and activist. Doors: 6.30pm, starts: 6.45pm Tickets are £4. Admission is free when purchasing a copy the book. About the book: Enshittification was a choice. The decay of the once-great internet into five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of the other four, was a choice. Policy choices that sidelined privacy and labor protection and ignored monopolisaiton created the enshitternet. In PICKS AND SHOVELS, Cory Doctorow visits the moment those first choices were being made, in a historical technothriller that takes us back to the heroic era of the PC revolution and the moment where it all started to go wrong. Picks and Shovels stars Martin Hench, Doctorow's hard-charging, two-fisted high-tech forensic accountant. It's a standalone novel in a series that includes the bestselling novels Red Team Blues and The Bezzle, In this volume, we learn the origin story of Silicon Valley's first - and best - finance-crime fighting spreadsheet sleuth, born in fraud and fire. About the author: Cory Doctorow is a science fiction author, activist and journalist. He is the author of many books, most recently PICKS AND SHOVELS and THE BEZZLE (followups to RED TEAM BLUES) and THE LOST CAUSE, a solarpunk science fiction novel of hope amidst the climate emergency. He famously coined the term  enshittification  to describe the reduction in the quality of services provided (see: Google) as a consequence of profit-seeking. Tickets are £4.00. Admission is free when purchasing a copy the book. If you cannot make the event but would like a dedicated copy of a book, please email events.manchester@blackwell.co.uk or call us on 0161 274 3331.

算是牛津大學歷史最悠久的書店，外觀不起眼而裏面卻十分寬敞，布置也很有英倫范兒，當然最熱門的就是《哈利波特》系列、牛津古英語教授約翰&middot;托爾金的《指環王》系列、牛津教授C.S劉易斯的《納尼亞傳奇》

嘆息橋（英國牛津大學）正式名稱為赫特福德（Hertford）橋，是牛津大學的一個著名景點，嘆息橋始建於1913年（1914年完工），它跨過新學院路連接了赫特福德學院的新舊兩個部分，是牛津大學的一個著名景點，由托馬斯傑克遜爵士（Sir TomasJackson）設計，由於此橋形似意大利威尼斯的嘆息橋故被稱為嘆息橋。跟着旅遊團來到牛津大學，只能夠走馬觀花看了一下。

牛津大學博多利圖書館(Bodleian Library - University of Oxford)是牛津大學的總圖書館，是歐洲最古老的圖書館之一（1602年開放），也是英國規模僅次於大英圖書館的第二大圖書館。這裡是英國的6個法定圖書館之一。所有的牛津出版品在出版時都會自動送一份到此珍藏。圖書館下設有眾多分館，其中Radcliffe Camera分館己經成為牛津大學的重要地標，有很多圖書在這裡存放，不是牛津大學的學生也可入內参觀。博多利圖書館由一組不同歷史時期、不同風格的建築群構成，據說各樓之間有地下通道連接。

花幾英磅你可以爬到塔頂，欣賞牛津360度無死角的美麗風景，漂亮的長條形景觀和南部的城市最為驚艷。教堂門廊建於四五百年，其螺旋立柱是英國建築史上的一大創新特色
