Information and Communication Technology Warfare
As a teenager, I was an avid reader of the science fiction genre of novels. I spent my pocket money on books. What I loved most, was the promise of the future greater technology and a promised easier lifestyle. The idea that humans could make robots that were as smart as themselves thrilled me. It was exhilarating. Now, half a century later, I am witnessing similar book concepts manifest themselves increasingly inserting themselves into our mundane world. Let me express my admiration for Isaac Asimov, Jules Vernes, and H.G. Wells. As I grew older, my taste in books changed. I found elements of future worlds, extreme technologies, and gadgets in the writings of authors like James Patterson, who wrote about cyber attacks on police stations, David Rorvik, who introduced the concept of human cloning, the Sunday comic strips featuring Dick Tracy’s equivalent of the Apple Watch and George Orwell’s description of an authoritarian world where fake news was considered the truth and surveillance was as common as family visits.

Investigator Sarah Carter remained before the scorched remaining parts of what was once a smooth, cherry-red Colt, its once-glimmering paint now a turned, darkened wreck.
