Happy Monday to me. I have actually gone through a number of Powers' books, yet still failed to have much of a sense of him, which I sorta ased if, honestly. I recognized he was a former English (effectively unsupported claims practically) significant switched computer system developer, yet little else.

The supercharger, though, is the requirement for lovely publications to utilize in BookTok video clips.
