Let The Bits Run Free: A Novelette Of The Braintrust
Charlie was just doing his homework. But on the BrainTrust, homework can get you in a lot of hot water.
How do you teach children to defend themselves from a cyberattack?
On the BrainTrust, you first teach them how to launch a cyberattack.
Inevitably, overachieving twelve year old Charlie Winston has gone and done it. He’s a bright kid, and he’s gonna get a really excellent grade for the shockingly sensitive, perfidious data he’s collected. Perhaps too excellent.
Now peacekeepers, teachers, news reporters, and a California Lead Investigator are all converging on him. How can he get them to understand, it’s just not that big a deal?
A short novelette set in the world of the BrainTrust.

Real life tech
All of Marc Stiegler's books always based on real life tech. That's why it's always interesting to see these existing stuff could be bent so out of shape with witty and critical thinking. I can't wait to use Accell for my kids!
