  • Charged Fate

    I never thought I would live to see the day when the last gas station would close down. I was there, standing on the sidelines as they tore it down, the old pumps and signs being replaced by sleek, shiny charging ports. I remember the smell of gasoline, the grime, and the noise. Now, it…

    My heart pounded as I stared at the screen, the figures dancing before my eyes. Two hundred million dollars. That’s how much they’d given us. I’d been part of QI Tech since the beginning, a small start-up in Brazil, and now we were a force to be reckoned with. But with great power, comes great…

  • The Cedar Paradox

    I stood on the outskirts of Austin, staring at the towering structures that Cedar had built. They were beautiful, no doubt, but there was something unsettling about them. Something unnatural.

  • Firewalls of Freedom

    I was never much for the corporate world, the cold glass buildings and the men in their sleek suits. But when Palo Alto Networks acquired Dig Security, my dad’s little tech firm, everything changed. I was no longer just a programmer’s kid, I was a pawn in a game of power and control. The $400M…

  • The Silicon Stranglehold

    The world was ticking, every second pulsating with the rhythm of the impending deadline. The $61 billion deal, the one that would change everything, was hanging by a thread. I could feel the tension, the uncertainty, the fear. It was all-consuming, a beast with a thousand eyes, all staring at me. I was the one…
