The Man Who Wrote the Rules

by James Johnson

Dedication

For the ones who thought law was fair.
It never was.
And now you know who wrote it.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

THANKS TO HAMMURABI for showing the world that justice is a choice, and law is just the long arm of whoever gets there first.

Thanks to every courtroom that still runs his code for proving that written power lasts longer than any king.

And to the reader, for following the rules, until now.

and installed the operating systems we still live under.
