Yes: former President Clinton has written a thriller with James Patterson.
And was on the Today programme, hawking the thing around town.
What caught my attention?
Was his criticism of moves in the US towards electronic voting booths: booths he feels would be too easy to hack.
Wise thought, that.
Personally?
I know in the UK has old fashioned paper voting.
But the impression I got from the media?
Was that the electoral counts, in various sports halls and parish halls across the country, used laptop with various spreadsheet apps, to store the results. But that those laptops could not be connected to the net, until the count was finalised: to keep the risk of that machine being accessed remotely, and the results interfered with, to a minimum.
Which I can applaud …
But still find concerning.
Those results could still be swiped from a central computer …
