Disruption in the Marketplace
The Unexpected Consequences of a New Technology
It could happen to anyone.
Anyone could be outside a shopping mall minding their own business when a black SUV slams to a stop in their path.
Anyone’s exit could be blocked by a shadowy figure smelling of aftershave and boot polish.
Anyone could panic while being forcibly acquainted with the interior of an unmarked vehicle.
Anyone could reach down to push the red button and... J. Robert's your uncle... a ten-block radius reverts to random energy broth in every direction.
Yes, it could happen to anyone who happens to carry a miniaturized quantum field disrupter in their pocket.
