Excerpt

They were resurrected like an army of dry bones, brought to life through the rebooting of old Nokias and Motorolas. Flip phones with qwerty boards; pariahs that became desired. An order of African priests introduced the method of communication to Western priests, and an infrastructure of communication was christened.

Priests were good at secrets. The confession booth was a lair where they could flourish. While the method of communication was used to protect networks of believers from exposure, to relay messages of encouragement and scripture in areas where speech and ideas freely shared became dangerous to power-hungry despots, there were more nefarious priests who used the same tech.

Diez first got wind of these information networks when he first started writing Collars and Crimes. Pedo priests used the secret communication system too, hiding SIMs in crucifixes and rosaries. They salvaged old Nokias that didn’t connect to 7G, saved messages to SIMs. Read them on the off-network devices. It was outdated tradecraft that was a genius subversion.
