On pirates in Wired Magazine

The new issue of Wired Magazine has a special section on pirates, and my book, Republic of Pirates, makes cameos in two articles within.

In one, Mary H.K. Choi asks if "Freelancers are the New Pirates" -- as a lifelong freelancer, I hope the answer really is 'yes' -- and includes some of my comment from our interview on the golden age pirates of the Bahamas, the subject of my book.

A second piece looks at the three pirate-related television series now in development in the United States, including NBC's "Republic of Pirates," which is based on my 2007 title. Angus Konstam provides some historian's comment on the settings and subjects of all three.
