My publisher promoted my book the other day and it was so lovely seeing the cover there on the screen, I thought, 'I should share it more often.'
So here I am, sharing it.
Alt-Ctrl was published in September 2019 and since then, so much has happened and changed in the world, but thing I wanted most to say with this story is that in times of desperation, when corporations are all-powerful and you think you can't do without them because they control so much of your life, the answer might lie in being brave, and relying on each other.
