I will post a paragraph or two from each new chapter, as I complete it.
Summary
Williamâs father James created machines without logic boards or fuel, relying only on the laws of physics. He had been the center of a movement inspired in part by Bronson Alcottâs âFruitlandsâ, a failed experiment in farming in the 1800's. But now, instead of soil, Williamâs fields are abstract and occupy databases in the bank where he works. He writes programs to remove milliseconds of time from trades in commodities, (corn, wheat, oil, gold; things that come from the earth). Ana is his niece, a curious eight year old girl who William taught to program. She has an important role in his other project--an idea that grew from a gift of despair but would soon change the way the world viewed exchange and potential.

Note: I took some time off to rethink and am working again. I will be posting only short introductory paragraphs to new chapters here, with a link to the draft that I will keep current.
I am also working on video versions. More about that later.
