Original Fiction: HyperTyper
I finally finished reading your story, Praxilla. Sorry it took so long, I just have a lot of reading assignments and have just had the time to read a chapter of online fiction every few days. [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]
I loved it! Especially the part about the queen probe. The ending was good. I am really impressed by your talent and imagination. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
It plays on real-life fears of an oppressive government, the teshnological oppression of free will, and manipulation of public sentiment with propaganda. It’s also a great metaphor: We all have probes in our brains-the force that holds us back, prevents us from doing all the things we think of doing. Sometimes it’s for our own good, sometimes it’s inhibiting us needlessly.
One last thought: was it inspired by the Ditto leech neuron project that was in the news a few months ago? ‘Cause that’s what it reminded me of.
