I am in passport control. I can see my face on a screen. The technology recognises me and lets me through. I scan codes showing my vaccination status and recent Covid test results. The machines assess the data regarding my health and microbiology. Through into the waiting room, people are staring into little screens. A strangely large number have the camera flipped, and are capturing their faces at different angles, as if they've forgotten what they look like. I open my laptop and join in. I give my details to a company to enter the digital realm. Adverts tailored to my personality pop up. They know me better than I know myself.
Had a mad idea again and threw out the entire 6th module of my Intro to World Lit class (last minute again, because I live on the edge)
Making it pure SF this time, so because I'm thinking of including #PhilipKDick's short story #WeCanRememberItForYouWholesale on the roster, I'm rewatching #TotalRecall with Arnold Schwarzenegger
(not the soulless 2012 remake, thanks)
