Through Zero Trust Series Book

In the late twenty-fourth century, zero trust is not just an IT security strategy: it’s the way of life now. Taken to the next level, the post-truth concept reigns supreme. Everything is relative; everything depends on perspective.Not the lust for power, though. Not the deep, primal need to control another human being, to override their will with your own. It’s amazing how deeply it has always been ingrained in every aspect of human civilisation. Now, when everything else has been stripped away, it comes to the fore.And of course, there remains fear – of the unknown, when everything new and unfamiliar seems evil by default; or of being casually discarded and crushed by the millstones of the system.There must be another way. Fear makes slaves, and power makes masters. If that is all there is to civilisation – if respect, honour, compassion, friendship, and love are being sidelined or weaponised – then even if technology can make humans live for centuries without ageing physically, this kind of life is not worth living. This is the story of those who try to find – or build – an alternative.
