About the Author

I'm Rector Emeritus of Bastiat Free University, Steward Emeritus of Junior Partner Ministries, and I've served as director of development for The Netcohort Institute. Retired now, I do research and writing. (I'm having fun!)

"Civilization's progress has always been initiated by individuals balancing demands within their intimate groups against their personal needs for independence and identity. Social engineers and central planners always err at this point. What they endeavor is to convert humankind from small, intimate, flexible tribes into a collective with one mind (their mind of course).

They want to make all the complex human herds and packs composed of individuals into a single hive of drones. They have always failed, they will always fail; for outstanding individuals will continue to emerge - imagining and accomplishing exceptional goals - changing everything."

From the Back Cover

"Your best interests are my chief concern excellency. The people have been educated to follow authority, they expect any semblance of defiance to be crushed. They know those we crush are evil -- because we crush them."

After a moment to compose a proper reply, Prince Pahl states grandly; "We of course must protect our loyal herds from interbreeding with feral goats."

Scar nods as if at Pahl's wisdom, and the counselor now further directs the conversation. "To continue our play with your excellent beasts analogy, there is a lion loose in the kingdom."

"What's this, a pretender after my throne and you have not apprehended him?"

"The arrest or necessary elimination will happen this evening; we have lion traps dug along his familiar trails. But he is not a pretender to the throne, it is worse than that. He is one of those generic hacker busybodies that are interfering with legitimate and recognized governments like your own. Their effects can appear anywhere, they consider themselves individually sovereign, acting on their own or as tiny cells they call teams."

Scar continues in a satisfied tone, "When this lion is captured we will bleed the location of his compatriots from him, If we are unable to effect our capture plan we will simply add his ashes to the nearest city's communal grave without ceremony. I am unconcerned about his individual effect; but we do not want a pack of aggrieved crackers descending on our citizen management and control systems in retribution. This will be done without publicity, tonight the lion simply disappears."

From the Inside Flap

Elegance. Well written code contains no flourishes.
Concise.
Direct.
Succinct.
Billy Goodman: Ethical Hacker, Privacy Technician


"Creating a new life is easier and faster than transmogrifying relics of an old identity. Already, interconnected databases are filing ostensibly original data - from birth certificates to required public copies of home videos. In a short time, Billy Goodman will have always been known as Jonathon Christforth. A new life manufactured - sunrise will arrive.

Let's see if I can keep this new Jon feller alive." - Jonathon Christforth


"You are an attractive man, and power itself is attractive. To anyone with a view of history, and a feel for the long term, you will be even more attractive in exile -- without Damocles' sword hanging over our head. You would still be prince, a great catch, but one with freedom to decide your own future. I will be glad to converse with you any time you wish, but I will not allow myself logical indiscretions." Gloria Portola


"While I do not view my royal attentions as punishment, it is obvious you do. I have, as Crown Prince of Elldee, given my word you would not be punished. Besides, many willing participants are waiting inside, all of them wearing hopeful glass slippers." - Prince Pahl


"You two have been avoiding the obvious, out of consideration for each other. It's creating tension. We are hacking a kingdom that believes in killing opposition. There is plenty to be tense about, we don't need miscommunication multiplying the effects." - Mose Ramsees


"Laugh at inappropriate times. Joy can cause that. Work at discovering all you are capable of. Help set others free -- it's for yourself: Why not do your best?
This will be fun."
Shawny


"Cleaning up the world is a lot more fun than cleaning your room -- although you seldom face a firing squad if you screw up organizing your closet. I've lost some friends . . ."
Punkk Kidd


"Bureaucracies are inherently unjust.
But bureaucrats are like weeds, pull one and tomorrow there will be two. Leave them alone and there will soon be a walled compound with administrative tower buildings and perimeter signs proclaiming this invaluable sanctuary is off limits -- except to more weeds."
Allan R. Wallace
