The proliferation of social media platforms and our increasing reliance on the internet for connection and communication has caused the line between the “real” world and the online world to blur. So much of our lives can be impacted by online interactions—and not all those interactions are positive. Why does the internet seem to encourage bad behavior from some users? Why do we feel we need to share so much of our private lives with the online world? Is screen time really as addictive as the headlines say?

Var now faces enemies on all sides. The Alliance wants to destroy her empire. The Game Masters treat her and those like her as puppets. The Clockwork Princess will stop at nothing to kill her. Even her allies seem to have their own motives and squabbles. And above it all, the ever watchful eye of the System Hivemind rules AO by pain and fear. Some wish to control, some wish to destroy, where she looks to find a way to free herself and all those enslaved in Another Online.

Hell. This was absolute hell. Every day was hell to 2244, an NPC in the Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game known as AO. Just another prisoner of the game like all NPCs, she never expected her wish for freedom to be granted in such a grandiose way; a big event in the game leads to her suddenly becoming a mother, a hellspawn, and a queen, all within a matter of moments. Now tasked with maintaining a balance between keeping the Game Masters happy and trying to take down all of AO, 2244 discovers that there's much more to this game than just slavery and item upgrades.

This is a love story. It is a semi-fictional story derived from actual circumstance and real events, mostly observed from a male perspective, but strongly driven by females. These events occurred during the feminist revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s, which brutally took down many confused men and many unwary women as gender wars wrecked lives along the way. Admittedly, there were genuinely repressed women who were liberated as a result of that revolution, but it cannot be denied that there was a lot of collateral damage in the process.

We'll be talking to Nicolas Hamilton about his debut book, Now That I Have Your Attention, finding out what his role is within the Hamilton family, why he pushes himself so hard and how it feels to race against able-bodied drivers.

Nicolas Hamilton has been exceeding expectations since day one. Born with a form of cerebral palsy, Nicolas was told that he would never walk and would need a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Today he not only walks everywhere but he is the first disabled athlete to ever compete at the top level of British motorsport, The British Touring Car Championship, where he lines up on the grid alongside some of the world's best drivers. Now That I Have Your Attention follows Nicolas's remarkable journey and shares the valuable, tough, and often surprising lessons learned throughout his life.
