Wow! Crazy to see you here. I found out about Silo a few weeks back. That damn rock I live under. Couldn’t get into the TV series but tried your books. I have not been able to put it down. My partner may be a bit…
Feels like America has been on this road for quite a while. It’s frustrating to think how upset I was at some actions of previous administrations and believing we needed to do less fascist things, not more. Then Trump…
Which leaves me wondering - should domestic travel be treated the same as international when it comes to securing your devices?
