Apologies for the confusion - first time book author here!! Turns out the
correct site to order the book with the discount code is here:
https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/777584/trans-technologies-by-oliver-l-haimson/9780262551861/
The correct discount code is *MITP30*
And unfortunately the discount code is only available in the US 😞
