Sycamore (Cyber Seed)

By Craig A. Falconer

Imagine a world where your eyes can't be trusted. Imagine the truth was hidden behind a veil of augmented reality. Protests airbrushed from view. Targeted advertising on every corner. Imagine microchipped consumers under constant surveillance. Taxed for moving. Blinded by convenience. Punished for crimes they haven't yet had the chance to commit. Imagine you were the one responsible for it all, and you were the only one who could stop it... ***** When the Sycamore corporation releases the ultimate gadget - an implantable microchip designed to replace smartphones - society rapidly descends into dystopia. Augmented Reality contact lenses act as the new system's display and simultaneously record everything in the user's field of vision. The potential applications are limitless. So are the surveillance opportunities. Upon discovering Sycamore's true motives and their government-approved plans for compulsory microchipping, the guilt-ridden young programmer behind the chip sets out to expose the truth while he still can.
