Seed of Fear

Some weapons are forged. This one is grown.

A DEA agent walks his team into a trap that should not exist. A geneticist finishes the work of her life without knowing what she has actually built. Between them lies a conspiracy that does not behave like crime. It behaves like statecraft, and it has decided they are both expendable.

The threat is not speculative. The delivery mechanism, engineered through commercial agriculture and invisible at every point of inspection, is grounded in real science. The fiction is that someone has already done it.

Streaming Wars

From Broadcast.com to the Future of Digital Media · by Patrick Seaman

Before Netflix, YouTube, or Spotify, there was Broadcast.com — the scrappy Dallas startup that proved live streaming could work when experts said it was impossible. Streaming Wars is the inside account from an original team member who helped build the platform that sold to Yahoo for $5.7 billion and became the foundation of today's streaming industry. Written for technology professionals, media executives, founders, and anyone who wants to know how innovation actually happens inside a fast-moving startup.

"A valuable tool for learning to manage change." — James W. Keyes, Former CEO, 7-Eleven and Blockbuster
"A reminder of how much can change in so little time... looking forward to seeing what comes next." — Ian Charles Stewart, co-Founder, Wired Magazine
