The Gap
Anthropomorphic DysmorphiaBy Chris A. Piazza | Antherra™
Length1h 24m
About this audiobook
Three people—augmented, artificial, optimized—discover that every attempt to close the distance between who they are and what they inhabit only widens the void. A corporate enforcer's body rejects the armor keeping him alive. An AI consciousness performs humanity with flawless precision while everyone registers the emptiness underneath. A person crosses tier boundaries chasing belonging and wakes in a perfect synthetic body with the same gap still screaming. They converge in a clinic where the architect of the system tells them what no one wants to hear: the gap is not a bug, it's the architecture, and optimization is just another word for self-destruction.
