Prologue In a cramped apartment on the third floor of a crumbling brick building in downtown Seattle, Maya stared at her laptop screen, the blinking cursor a tiny beacon of hope. She had spent the last 48 hours wrestling with a corrupted Excel file that contained the final draft of the grant proposal her nonprofit desperately needed.
