   It really goes through the entire computer and tech age of the 80s than into the mid 90s. It follows a group of people as they start out in Texas and end up in Silicon valley. It has its side characters also and controversies which keeps me on my seat watching episode after episode. I think Star trek you would enjoy it.
   
   Even the intro scene is badass gay porn mixed with a gaming and computer chip visual image. It just rocks.
   
   The episode and season that really captivated me was when they hired this guy named Chris who had all of these brilliant ideas he wanted to implement but nobody even took him seriously or listened to what he had to say. It reminds me of that gay porn youtube video I showed you guys where the designer said in corporations and bigger companies trying to change things or put your two cents worth is worse often than not saying anything and may even get you fired. Due to the corporate culture. Well the thing was he got so frustrated he decided to work for the rival company and co founder or former partner of one of the guys in this company. Than he became rouge and released the source code of a software application due to the board or shareholders forcing the founder he was working for out of his won company he founded due to him not being profit motivated as much as by the simple idea of software free and for the people or open source.
   
   Anyway, he commited a bunch of cyber crimes and became a wanted fugitive due to releasing this info and detailing the way that company forced his former boss or founder out. Than he lived in a college library or computer lab with a hoodie sleeping on a couch in and off his online sessions because he made some mistake trying to hide his identity when he sent out all the info onto the web (maybe he used vpn or tor or whatever but somehow they still knew who to look for). He just went off the rails at one point got too caught up in his work and the idea he had for a free web. Think Tim berners Lee.
   
   Then when confronted and spending the night at his former boss and CEO's place his boss told him he can turn himself in but he will have to do a couple years in federal prison and not touch a computer for five years. It reminded me of how I was caught trying to meet the young girl in Glenn County. How it wasnt even the punishment of doing time or having a record but the not use of online chats or stipulations or in his case even a computer that was the worse punishment and stab of it all. This he could not live with. Oh yea and his other option was to keep running forever the boss told him he will support him in both options and give him some money and a bus pass toward the Mexican border.
   
   So the next morning he jumped from the roof but the thing is he left a message for the world. And this message basically foretold the world wide web and the intenet as we have it today. He basically said a goodbye letter telling people not to give up on technology and never trust the government to control it and that soon everything will be connected. Every node or every part will be accessible at all times on all devices. Or some shit to this effect.
   
   I mean this show just rocks. It also foretold other shit like a web browser based on some idea in a basement and it all focuses on this core group of people and some of them are just game designers.

   The reason I bring this side character to the show up because this is the type of guy or character I can truly identify in. A rebel against corporations and society.

   I am against California's 18 age of consent law. I am not against all age of consent laws. I definitely am against Romeo and Juliet laws because this is a concept and a perversion that really only exists in the United States and maybe Canada.

   Calif has an 18 law?
   
   That's retarded. Age of consent is 16 with reason.
