#67: The Dangers of Genius
The writer of this next story says that what happened to this kid in his school is mysterious and strange. Personally, I say it sounds like the beginning of a great technological thriller movie, or maybe the next hit Friday night show on NBC.
Just picture it: this kid is from a poor area, but he’s a genius and manages to teach himself how to hack computers. One day at school, he hacks the FBI database and is arrested and told that he has two options: use his skills to help the FBI or go to jail. Fifteen years later, he’s the FBI’s secret hacking weapon, using his skills to track down international criminals and having will they/won’t they tension with his beautiful FBI liaison Elise. I’d watch that show.
