When the US military talks about "paradigm shifts," they actually mean it. This piece is complete Pentagon gobbledygook, and yet, after finishing my new technothriller, I understand exactly what this man is saying, and who he is saying it to, and why. It may take me years to get over this experience, but that's the price one pays in that hard, no-holds-barred, combative world of novel-writing. "He jests at scars who never felt a wound."
