That makes American Gangster, which is rather leisurely paced...
...important to get metadata right because metadata is how these online works can be located in the vast ether of the digital world, and also gives digital works a leg up on hardcopy books. According to Weinberger, “Books create an ethos in which thoughts succeed by being self-contained. The web creates an ethos in which works succeed also by linking outward from themselves.
