Well, a couple days ago I saw a thread post on a forum I hang out at titled “What will the internet become?” and my brain started humming. A lot of ideas came out, and I started really wondering what the web and our interconnected reality might turn in to within 40 or 50 years.
So, I wrote a very quick piece of fiction titled, Influencer.
The central idea that I wanted to invent was an implant which essentially puts the internet in to our minds. I imagined an implant that just simply talks to the brain and goes digging up information essentially on demand, and carries out commands just as we type in web addresses today.
It’s a quick and choppy tale, and was frankly written in less than an hour, but I hope you’ll enjoy a glimpse in to a potential reality of the future, where we know nearly everything about anything. I might create another tale in this same universe if I can conjure up a worthwhile story for it.
