- Summary:
- "Before AidSat I had no self, no soul. I was a billing address. A credit score. I had a TV, a computer, a phone, a car, an apartment, some furniture, and a health-club locker. Then AidSat hired me and gave me a life. And not just one life. Hundreds of them, thousands. " Kent Selkirk is an operator at AidSat, an omni-present subscriber service ready to answer, solve, and assist with the client' s every problem. Through the AidSat network Kent has a wealth of information at his fingertips- information he can use to monitor subscribers' vital signs, information he can use to track their locations, information he can use to insinuate himself into their very lives.
