Speculating on what that might mean for the future, even just 10 years down the road, really appeals and is unsettling for a lot of people. It’s not that we don’t all live through change, but the pace has grown faster and faster, which is both fascinating and really terrifying. Moments like that take me aback I have to remind myself that these kids are growing up during a time of such rapid change. You know how you extend your thumb and pinky? I realized that they didn’t know what I was doing because they had never seen a phone like that-they’ve only ever known a flat iPhone. I remember going to a middle school where I was giving a talk, and making some gesture, trying to make a phone against my face. I think young people today are growing up in a time where they’ve never been without this type of technology. Why do you feel stories like Warcross and Wildcard, which explore the consequences of technology and innovation, resonate so deeply with readers?
