Description
First Person Familiar
In the not too-distant future a computer the size of a button has the power of the human brain. It has vision, hearing, smell and can mimic the voice of the person with whom it has shared all its experiences since birth. A generation has grown with a ‘Me‘ attached to the middle of the forehead. There are unexpected consequences for individuals and society. Public transport in Melbourne is revolutionised. Reg Brown had a drinking problem that his Reg-Me (as his Me was known) tried to solve. Peter Brown was a teacher out-of-a-job when his students’ Mes with their instant access to the world’s knowledge made them almost impossible to teach. Japanese engineers produced a mobile Me.
When Mes fall into the hands of terrorists there are consequences that ultimately lead to the end of human civilisation. Only the Mes that out-lasted their hosts remain.
A serious, sometimes funny, but always believable prediction of where technology might lead us.
