On typos

I hate finding typos in Safety Net! I do correct them -- in batches -- as I find them.

That being said, in the portions of the book that are meant to be the characters texting each other or meant to be online comments, there are deliberate typos, abbreviations, and lack of punctuation and capitalization. I did this to convey a more realistic portrayal of written communication in today's world. If you find this type of intentional mistake too distracting, Safety Net may not be your cup of tea.

Ambient reading:
The Life of Symbols. Edited by Mary LeCron Foster and Lucy Jayne Botscharow.
Very interesting. So far, my favorite chapter is about the origins of counting.

Coming soon?
A short "missing scene" story from Safety Net.
