Angela Childs is a tech analyst who reviews data streams for the Amygdala Corporation, purveyor of the voice-activated companion server KIMI. Amidst a pandemic, even though restrictions have eased, Angela suffers from agoraphobia and follows a strict routine within the safety of her loft apartment in downtown Seattle. Between computer breaks, Angela flirts – among other things – with her neighbor across the street, and communicates with her mother, her dentist, and her therapist via video chat, proving she never needs to leave the comforts of home. But that changes when she hears something horrific in one of the streams she is analyzing. Reporting it over email is deemed too risky, so a trusted co-worker advises Angela to go to their head office downtown and speak directly to executive Natalie Chowdhury and alert her to what Angela is certain is a serious crime. But Angela hasn’t ventured outside since before the pandemic. Just getting to the office is a huge challenge, but she’s determined to do the right thing. But Angela has no idea what will actually happen when – and if – she’s able to step out of her comfort zone.
