Humanity had played with hacking in the later part of the twentieth century, but mobile computing and satellite communications brought interdependence on computers in the next that made war on that level possible. The Americans, the Chinese, and the Russians began the Second Cold War when their relations frayed, but the Islamic Brotherhoods soon joined them. That was when the war went hot.
Thanksgiving Day is a day set aside by our government to give thanks to God. It has usually been in thanks for a good harvest, though at times it has been thanks for surviving a war. I know it can be hard to think of things to be thankful for today, but we should. We live in a great country, where our dreams can change our future. I write stories and make money because people like you buy them. You help me live my dream. So I give thanks.
Julie and Alex were the brains of the band. They said we needed different instruments. I figured three guitars was just fine, but they said the sounds would work well from different…things. They lost me on the music theory, but I was willing to give it a try. Alex learned bass guitar and Julie claimed the acoustic guitar. Me? Well, I got to play the field. Fiddle. Mandolin. Banjo. Sometimes I even played the violin. I played whatever the song called for and loved it.
By the early twenty-first century, most hackers had melded into one of two groups. Some worked for governments or corporations, while others did it for fun or other reasons. Many cut their teeth in the various cultural movements of the time and created the idea of hacktivism. Some did good. Some did bad. We only survived in the end because of those that did good.
All I cared about was girls and parties when I was young. Family too. We used to have the best get togethers. Then the Shang blew Yosemite Yards out of the sky and dropped its remains all over western America. Killed most of my family and friends. I volunteered so I could kill as many Shang as I could find. It was all revenge. I never thought I’d find something worth living for along the way.
