HOMOTECHNO
When machines can save you or delete you
You can't be alive until you backup in a drive
In 2100, you are not quite alive until you are backed up.
Food grows on walls. Trams drive themselves. Clothes mend themselves. A health patch can warn a family before illness is felt. And every night, people save themselves to a drive — their face, their voice, their memories, their health — because after the Fall, after escaped agents broke the banks, the votes and the news, society rebuilt itself around one simple rule: no backup, no proof you count.
Kai is sixteen, and his backup has just failed.
Locked out of school as a ghost, he takes a runner's job carrying drives by hand, because a drive that matters is never sent over a network again. At the station he is given a drive he never made, with his own name on it, for tomorrow.
