"This book took me a while to read—not because it was long, but because I kept seeing myself reflected in its pages. I had to pause often, simply to process the familiarity. The guidance, lessons, and direction woven throughout helped heal parts of me"

“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

If a bunch of people can get Betty White to host Saturday Night Live seems like we can make a great book(s) a bestseller.

Thanks for the invite, Chris. I've read "Drive by Saviours" and will write a review when I can. Interesting story, though.
