I purposely left out some of my favorite parts of the book just so you can enjoy it still. This story goes deeper and deeper and deeper. And so you should do yourself a favor and go read Dark Wire by Joseph Cox. A big thank you to Joseph Cox for sharing this story with us. You can find a link to his book, Dark Wire, in the show notes. Again, it's highly recommended.

This episode is created by me, the Bit Bumbler, Jack Recyder. Our editor is the Silicon Sorcerer, Tristan Ledger. Mixing is done by Proximity Sound, and our intro music is done by the mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder.
