edit data

My name is Kenneth E. Harrell, and I'm a cybersecurity professional and science fiction Novelist with over three decades of professional experience in the technology field. I hold advanced degrees in Information Systems, Information Technology, Information Security and Organizational Leadership, along with extensive training in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. In my view Science fiction is like a mythos about now set in the future. Like a backward pointing arrow, screaming at the past, begging to be paid attention to.
