THE DEPARTED

“In the last G-1K summit, Kalusian neurobiologist Diac Zofim surprised the scientific world when she introduced what she called a reader. It could override security measures and read the contents of a person’s cube. Impressive enough, but think about this: For what purpose would you use it? What gave anyone the right to access someone’s cube without their express consent? It would be useful for interplanetary security, the supporters argued, but it sounded like a slippery slope to me. There were a lot of living rights activists who agreed, and it sparked a series of protests that would’ve been front and center, but they were overshadowed by the twin bombings of Rhesto and Wraeta. Eventually the tech was quietly deemed illegal, but they’d announced it at a time when the public had other things on their mind . . .”
