Compliance Protocol by Chris Rule

About

With a career in technology spanning back to 1995, Chris Rule has a unique and seasoned perspective on the double-edged sword of innovation. As a Director of Technology for public schools since 1999, he has shaped how a generation of students interacts with technology, from the dawn of the public internet to the current surge of AI. This experience provides the authentic, cautionary backbone for his high-tech action thrillers.

While he embraces technology professionally, Chris is a firm believer in personal choice and the "old-school" ways of doing things. Raised on a family ranch homesteaded in the 1800s, he prefers the rugged solitude of rural Wyoming to the bustle of city life. This contrast between the high-tech future and a self-reliant past is a central theme in his debut novel, The Compliance Protocol.

When he's not writing, Chris can be found exploring the backcountry on his adventure motorcycle, restoring classic cars, or taking on a new home remodeling challenge—from building custom cabinets to installing his own heating system. He lives in Wyoming with his wife of over thirty years.
