About the author

Koen Martens is a science fiction author and retired hacker with a degree in artificial intelligence. A software architect by day, Koen has worked with quantum computers, lithography machines, cloud servers and many other high-tech gadgets. Koen’s experience lends a great degree of realism to his writing and provides him with a healthy dose of scepticism towards humanity’s unhealthy relationship with technology.
While born in the Netherlands, Koen, together with his husband, now lives in Sweden. In his spare time, he can often be found roaming the woods of Örebro lan (getting lost despite the assistance of gps navigation) or online to stay in touch with his friends from hackerspace Hack42. Koen regularly enjoys live jazz at concerts and festivals, and plays and restores pinball games.

Being a short story, the characters are pretty undeveloped, which is unfortunate, I'd like to know a bit more about what's motivating the characters as they progress through the story and make decisions.
I enjoyed the computer/technical bits, and it's set in a near future time that is entirely to plausible for comfort.
Give this story a read, you will enjoy it!
