Interface Bracelet

Of course, escaping the city interface is fairly easy for most people in Tally’s city: You just take off your ring. This was fine for most pretties, who wouldn’t think of being miscreants. But when Zane and Tally started causing trouble, I figured the city would have to have a way to keep track of them permanently. I decided on an interface bracelet that could not be removed. One main reason: “Bracelets” is slang for handcuffs.

Skintenna

I partly invented skintennas because it’s fun to say “skintenna.” I also liked the idea that the Specials were a tight-knit tribe who could hear one another’s breathing and were all listening to the same music all the time. The music idea came from reading about a nightclub in London where everyone wears radio headphones. All the headphones play the same music, so it seems like a normal nightclub until you take off your headphones, and see everyone dancing to . . . silence. That struck me as kind of futuristic and a bit uncanny, which is how I wanted the Specials to seem.
