A foreword and table of contents

In 1951, President Harry Truman chose to use the fear of the Atom to stem the tide of Communism in Korea. It worked, creating a deadly new American addiction.

In 1952, the fingers of the Intelligence Community snapped a man that was about to be punished from the society that he had strived for years to save through the power of science. Those CIA agents didn't know it back then but they also created another addiction, one whose caliber would be global, its influence pervasive, its impact deep and intergenerational.

In 1962, the man that was saved from the Old World, achieved a marvelous invention, breaking through to a new frontier that was previously thought to be untenable. He managed to combine human flesh with silicon and metal.

Many called it a dream come true. An equal number proclaimed it a nightmare.

He gave it a simple name...

The Turing Protocol

For some of you, this journey began six months ago. Welcome back.

For me, it was close to a year and change and frankly, I didn't expect to share it with any of you. But here all of us are.

For those that joins us now, welcome to the madhouse that is the later 20th century of the Turing Protocol, a world whose technology has accelerated in leaps and bounds, a world that's breaking through to new knowledge with frightening speed but under the surface is far more dangerous than when you look at it for the first time. Corporations, Foreign Wars, a pervasive media culture, widespread acceptance of fringe ideas but also acceptance of things that would have been considered unlikely in our time. Metal Men and soldiers in exoskeletons, Moon Bases and the NET, people exchanging limbs to fit with the fashion sense of the day and others that risk their lives to keep the machines that ensure their survival going. You can find all these and many more as a part of everyday life.
