Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden's Syndrome by John Scalzi
5.0
I read this short story. And IMMEDIATELY bought the full novel.
A super-virus sweeps the nation, killing in every class, race, sex, and other demographic. But that's just the first wave. Weeks later, people begin to go into paralyzed states. MRI scans prove they are, in fact, conscious, but unable to move.
After years of work, technology is created that allows them to first speak through computers...and then move in android bodies.
This is a fascinating look at a completely re-imagined human society, where many of our loved ones become bound in their bodies, and yet freed into a technological world that makes them essentially different from humanity at large.
I can't wait to read the book!
