    Yup, chipping equals brain freeze when somebody gets past your 60 digit password. And if you think that it will never happen just ask Google.
    It was an internal hack.

    I made it all the way through the first trilogy. (And the second,
    which is nowhere near as dark.)

    IiRC, I finished the first Gap book, and had zero interest in the
    rest. The most sympathetic character in it is the mass murdering

    I think I made it 2 books in and then just couldn't.

    (And I liked Mirror & Covenant).

    Sounds like the first season of "Bosch".

    Which is why that is the /only/ season I streamed.

    The generation that got chipped in the Mandibles book was born after
    2000. I am not sure what they are called.
