Down, but not out. I've dusted down the URL I wasn't planning to use yet and created a holding site and email capture box for the book's crowdfunding campaign, which likely won't be on Kickstarter.

After less than 24 hours I have suspended the campaign. Kickstarter's website didn't take print book orders, but Kickstarter's app did. Best to cancel and start again next year. Annoying, though. Thanks to those who pledged even though they had to jump through hoops.

Project still to be okayed by Kickstarter. Maybe delay is because of a blocked word? A History of Britain in 100 Cycle Rides has some WWII content so have changed "Nazi" to "extremist".

Backers of my previous Kickstarter projects have been sent YouTube links to a 58-second campaign video for my new project. There's this captioned version, too.

Too true! I wrote about this supremacy in my first @wired article.

Auto execs in the US, Europe, and Japan never thought Chinese EVs were a threat. Now they’re coming to wipe the floor with their Western counterparts.

Placing a cover mock-up on here might make it look as though the book is immininent. It is not. Publication by next August hopefully. Backers will go on publishing journey with me. Previous backers of my projects chide me for my tardiness (fair cop) but like the end result.

Oh, yes, and there will be a few early bird specials with the hard- and soft-back books available for a few quid off.
