Social media. High speed connectivity. Global wireless networks.Welcome to a future where talking with everyone has become the next big thing, and the over use of electronic communication has rendered an entire generation mute. With the voices of the young silenced, laws are passed requiring every muted person to create a new status update on a government approved social media site every few hours in order to keep communication alive. But things are not as they seem. And god protect you if you break the rules...This is where Icarus08 finds himself. A young man suffering from insomnia, he spends his nights searching for meaning in a world where everything you could ever want is just a click away, and where his own father is an agent of everything he finds himself hating. Everything changes though when he meets the mysterious Chemical_Queen, a girl who lives on the edge of a cyber-society that has few boundaries, and will make you face every secret you've ever held dear...Status Update Required is a story about the ever evolving role technology plays in our lives taken to a frightening extreme. It follows two characters whose lives have been effected in starling ways by the world they live in, and the relationship that forms between them. It asks the question; just how different are we from our online profiles, and what happens when the real world and cyber world collide?
