Back when I was still a university student, I started a mini-series called The Minds Behind. These posts, which explored the historical development of modern technology, served a key role in developing my writing style. However, this series no longer fits in with my vision for Tyler DeWriter, so I’ve decided to retire it. This archive exists to compile these posts into a single place, thereby making them more accessible.
To preserve these archived works in their original state, they will receive no further edits. Keep this in mind, as the style may be a bit choppy at times.
