Biography:

Dave Partenen writes computer operating codes and programs for a major financial institution and has done so for decades. In his world, the smallest mathematical anomaly or coding inconsistency can result in a major financial catastrophe. What goes in correct, comes out correct, or as is said in contrast, garbage in garbage out. Even still, a corrupted file can wreak havoc on what appears to be normal programming. Detecting and perceiving the source of such problems is second nature to Dave, so when he observes certain anomalies occurring in the world around him, his professional instincts lead him to question just who exactly is writing the code and influencing the outcomes in both our everyday analog lives and our digital world. Just who is also trying to alter our bodily genetic codes and doing the unthinkable, playing God by having external forces manipulate our internal workings from our thoughts and moods to our metabolism and biochemistry?
