One of our favorite authors, Kristie Leonard is making her new high-tech thriller The Connected Agenda, available to our readers in serial format. The story involves artificial intelligence, chatbots, big data, and all the topics we discuss on Big Data Analytics Tech Brief - but in a more entertaining way. Follow Kay Whatley as she uses her cyber skills to defeat threats to her friends and discovers her family's link to the Austrailian hacker gang from the 1980s - The Realm. The first episode is available now and Kristie will post a new free episode every week for the next few months. 

We're introducing a new segment we hope you'll find entertaining. This is a serial novel from new author Kristie Leonard. This story is being released as a serial novel that will appear here each week for the next 10 weeks. The story is about Kay who programs chatbots, lives in the near future where AI, big data, robotics, and digital life is the norm. In this first season (she plans to write a few more on the same theme) Kay uses her skills to rescue a friend from a scammer. Have fun with this read.
