Just finished this book and yet again Michael has blown my mind. I was not expecting that ending at all. Absolutely heartbreaking and the king of the cliffhanger finished it off with what was a total mike drop moment. My brain was left screaming "Wait... what... no!!!" These books always leave me in a state of emotional discombobulation. The thrill of the chase, the pain of loss, the little laughs between beloved characters compounded by the utter, punch in the gut shock at where the story seems to be heading and the impact that can have. Yet again... utterly fantastic!

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.
