    Henry David Thoreau warned us that our improved technology merely gives us an improved means to a deteriorating end. Our technology can be an excellent means to time saving and improving outcomes, but we must consider the downsides created by our own biases. In Code Red, Thomas examines several emerging technologies and policies driving technological advances. He peers into vehicular tracking technology, digital payments and currencies, and the proliferation of artificial intelligence in aspects of our life. How can such technologies be a harm to society? Code Red examines this question with a series of short stories warning us about blindly embracing technology.

    100 ONE SENTENCE STORIES: STORIES OF EVERYDAY LIFE, INSIGNIFICANT YET BEAUTIFUL, CAN BE JUST AS POWERFUL AS THE EPIC TALES
    
    Short stories offer a concentrated dose of quality literary experience. They provide quick, accessible insights into the lives of other people, whether they're fictional or real. They can also be read quickly and easily, which is why they're especially popular among busy people who want to get in as much reading as possible without sacrificing quality.
    
    In addition to being great for getting more information in less time (and thus fitting into our fast-paced lives), short stories can also get into someone's head in ways that longer works can't—a fact borne out by the many instances where writers have published collections of their own fictional works over time. In effect, these writers have created their own little universes through which we can walk and explore.
    
    And that is exactly what we offer here.
