A struggling writer discovers a hidden piece of Spanish history. Will it be his salvation or his downfall?Donny, an American teaching English in the Madrid, Spain of the Great Recession, is a recovering addict who's spent the last ten years struggling to write a novel. To fulfill his lifelong dream, he's put everything else on hold, including his friendships, career, and starting a family with Alba, the woman who rescued him from his vices.One day, he spots the remains of a water supply tunnel dating back to the height of the Spanish Empire at a construction site across the street. The discovery becomes an obsession that fuels inspiration for a new novel, but Donny realizes the only way to write the story, and unblock his life and relationship, is to live it.So Donny embarks on a murky adventure that brings him face-to-face with Madrid's seedy temptations, his own addictions, a seductive politician, and a murderous housing developer intent on keeping the water supply tunnel a secret.

Tech Giants, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of Journalism
This book examines the impact of the "Big Five" technology companies – Apple, Alphabet/Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft – on journalism and the media industries. It looks at the current role of algorithms and artificial intelligence in curating how we consume media and their increasing influence on the production of the news. Exploring the changes that the technology industry and automation have made in the past decade to the production, distribution and consumption of news globally, the book considers what happens to journalism once it is produced and enters the media ecosystems of the internet tech giants – and the impact of social media and AI on such things as fake news in the post-truth age.The audience for this book are students and researchers working in the field of digital media, and journalism studies or media studies more generally. It will also be useful to those who are looking for extended case studies of the role taken by tech giants such as Facebook and Google in the fake news scandal, or the role of Jeff Bezos in transforming The Washington Post.The Open Access version of this book, available at https://doi.org/10.4324/9781351013758, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.
