Assume we're so connected that we surgically implant streaming earbuds into our brains. Then fast forward to the 23rd Century and drop a young amnesiac girl into a world ubiquitously online. All physical matter is eviscerating under one massive Facebook-Apple-Netflix-Google-Disney-ICANN merger. She learns the hard way that they've outlawed all substance, with legions of oppressively nude Particle Police officers enforcing the law. Nothing is left to protect her, or anyone else. Everyone is naked, because clothing is outlawed too. An icing of cynicism and satire in Gods of the Cloud, Miichael Leavitt's second novella, is the only reward for entering this world of food delivered through a tube, trash piled in an endless Refuse Range, and babies raised on video screens. Stay tuned for the resistance, what's hidden under silicone ContraBand body flaps, and the immortal lineage of Oprahs 1 through 11.
