“I think if my books have a theme, it’s that statement that you find stenciled on rear-view mirrors – “Objects Are Closer Than They Appear.” Technology has connected people in so many positive ways, but there’s a dark side to it, too. As our lives become more and more dependent on the Internet and smart phones, technology brings a lot of bad things right to our doorstep, from hackers and cybercriminals to government surveillance. I think it’s a very modern sort of fear that, wherever you go, if you’re connected, bad people have the ability to reach out and touch you – and not in a good way.”
