I won't argue with your reasoning, but merely say if I had started writing
in 1992 that in the new Traveller there would be a lot of chips inside
people's heads, they would have started sending death squads to Normal.

That makes sense. I also remember deliberately staying away from too much

everyone is hackers instead of jackers.
