Dear author,
          
          Carrier wave. Was. Hands down. Awesome. 
          
          It definitely should get a movie/tv series adaptation. Too bad i didn't discover it when it was still absence of knowledge (did i get the original title right?) and I'll only be able to read this free wattpad version huhu T_T nevertheless congrats for getting it published! :)
          
          I enjoyed all your crazy albeit at times gory story telling. Amazingly vivid but not in a monotonous ewww-seriously-again kind of horror. You made me a bit queasy while reading it. Or is my gut just weak...?
          _(:з」∠)_
           Pls take this as a compliment to you as a writer because you were able to create powerful imagery with just your words. Wish i could do that :///
          
          Tension was always sky high in this book i could hardly catch a breather but that means no boring fillers so yayyy ヘ( ̄▽ ̄*)ノ
          
          I also love your ability to change voices throughout the book. How you were able to embody the POVs of vastly different characters in a very very detailed way I'd think you were really them. Reading about Mari was especially interesting with all her teenage drama and mindset. 
          
          You really got me paranoid and wondering with what you did in the War Bastard parts btw. (。ŏ_ŏ) yikes.
          
          Aaaaanyways, thanks for writing this ah-mazing book and still sharing it here with us :DDD I had fun reading it.
          
          Now awkwardly exiting,
          
          (insert my username here haha)

The absence of knowledge is/was a great book! I have been thinking about it alot lately especially one particular part...
          The chapter I am thinking of was about half way threw the book; one of your characters had Synesthesia(?)-they could hear and feel colors. Anyway, I've been thinking about the scene where they were listening to tunes and you described them hearing swirls of red that slowley turned into into random olive colored dot that slowly took over his senses. This woke him from his daze and he realized he had hundreds of cuts all over his body from a merry (or one of the other crazy people). 
          I am really waning to illustrate this on a canvas however, when I went to find the chapter I noticed your book was a whole lot shorter. Where can one find this particular chapter? (Hopefully you know what one im talking about, I forgot the title of it) Also, are your books available for purchase on Amazon as paper or hard back? (If you've made it this far, thank you for reading!)

@wolfylover26 Awesome! I hope you dig it! If you can hold off a week or so, I'm having the manuscript re-copyedited. The first run through apparently missed a bit too much. Most folks haven't seemed to mind, but if it's the type of thing that really bugs you, could be worth postponing!

@robertbrockway Thank you so much! Just added it to my cart! 20 dollars is definitely worth it!

@wolfylover26 Hey thanks! Glad you dug it. The bit you're thinking of was in The Merry, that section is still up on Wattpad! Around halfway through, but it's not a long chapter. You'll find it! The book is available for sale as Carrier Wave on Amazon in eBook/paperback. It's pricey because it's very long and they charge by length!

WAIT UR RP BRIGGS????? OMG OMGGGGGGGGGG IM GONA SCREEEEAAAMMMM. wait im actually sHOcked. I thought you took the book down and I was so confused because i couldn't find your profile. i got scared. anyways, i followed The absence of knowledge when you were first posting it and i was so hooked, the plot was amazing and i was obsessed, i even begged u to let me act in it if it ever got a movie adaptation. Man, so many memories. I read it in the car and in the middle of the night at my old house. i dont knwo why i loved it that much when i havent read anything in like a good 6 or 7 years, but i did and it was amazing and im very grateful u wrote it and i can see this world u made in my head, i dont even know what im trying to say bro, its such a good boookkk

I read the whole thing to the end ;). Don't worry I won't tell any spoilers. It gripped me till the end though. I couldn't believe it had finished, because I was like, reading  it when it was first posted. The formatting now is so different lol, but I like it. Gonna have to jog my memory a bit heheh

@wadsworld Haha thank you! I'm glad you dug the book, and happy to have at least part of it back up for you. Just curious: Did you get to the end of the whole thing, back when that was up, or just the end of Mari's story in what's now called Beat by Beat?
