In a world optimized for efficiency, being human is the ultimate rebellion. Chloe Barnes is a ghost in a machine-driven world. While the rest of the population glows with the blue light of neural integration, Chloe's brain rejects the technology like poison. She is 'unlinked' - a relic of an analog past in a society that has no room for the unenhanced. The cost of progress is high. The man she loved, David, has become a 'productivity specialist', his memories of their life together archived as non-essential data. To him, love is no longer a feeling. It is software that hasn't been optimized yet. Facing a choice between a sterile life in managed housing or total erasure. Chloe discovers a hidden world beneath the city's surface. In the shadow of abandoned subway tunnels and other forgotten spaces, a band of outcasts is building something that offers a different choice. Fans of Ling Ma or Blake Crouch will enjoy this novella.
