In the woods of Massachusetts, pairs of contestants huddle in tents filled with communications equipment. Their voices soar through the air, riding waves into the atmosphere, as they comb through static and noise for a response from the other side of the world. They’re searching for loot—in the form of other voices in the sky. The rarer their contact, the more valuable their treasure.
Joining them in their quest is author J. K.

Did he ever ask for the reader's, or the listener's approval of his personality? Did he ever say 'follow me'?
