The Story

The novel begins in an ancient timeline, where humans are still cavemen. It covers a brief period of how man started to evolve, after an unknown extraterrestrial and intelligent lifeform drops a monolith that seemed to have effects on man.

It focuses on the tribe’s leader figure. This figure is forgotten, once the book skips the timeline to the future where man has evolved. The modern man quite fits the 1990’s vision of how humans’ advancements would be in the future.

“Why should I care?”, is a question often asked to me when I talk about privacy. There are plenty of reasons to preserve your privacy, but before that I must present some definitions:

Privacy, anonymity, security, and keeping secrets are seperate concepts from each other. “Keeping secrets” can be defined as hiding an embarrassing situation or event from public knowledge.

What I’ll be talking about in this post will be privacy. Before continuing, I’ll also say that these concepts can be quite related to each other. If one aims to achieve privacy, one must aim for security aswell.

Before I begin, I will say that for most people this is more a case of damage control than absolute true privacy.

By damage control, I mean using “evil” services as little as possible and opting for better alternatives instead; and maybe still using some of these services.

Of course, I have also compiled some of the very best choices for privacy. These sacrifice convenience heavily, however.

I will begin to list with a very base level privacy, with convenience being first priority, and privacy second. As it goes on, these priorities will switch places.

What leaves an effect on me, is always, not the highlights of the story or the ending; but how it feels to live and be encapsulated in the book that was written.

I like post-apocalyptic genres, so a somber, sultry atmosphere— and how the environment cradles one in. That’s how I remember a sci-fi novel.

But it’s not only dark grimey worlds that I like. For example, Dune, by far my favorite series, the vast universe it offers, and what the Sandworm symbolizes. The books genuinely live. They have heartbeats.

Now that you’ve finally made the decision to switch; here’s the how-to:

1. Install ungoogled-update.bat

1,5. Your browser may block this install (because it’s a file that executes a command), so select “Keep” on Chrome or other browsers based on chromium (vivaldi, opera, brave, etc…)

2. Run it (double click)

3. Click “y” if prompted

And you’re done. Windows will handle the rest.

What’s written in this command, if you don’t trust: “winget install –id=eloston.ungoogled-chromium -e”
