In the future, or right now, we have an advice column, Dear Corrigan. A world out of whack with AI, computers, and controlling everything. Mikel Barajas, the writer answering Dear Corrigan’s correspondence and getting paid for his efforts. The advice being sought falls into strange categories, such as:
Dear Corrigan, Yesterday, the man across from me on the bus collapsed on the floor and started flailing his arms and legs while his eyes rolled up in his head. The woman in front of me screamed and ran to the front of the bus. “He’s having a seizure, and it’s contagious,” she yelled. Am I in danger of contracting seizures? Signed, Concerned Bus Rider”
Mikel response:
Dear Concerned, You have nothing to fear. Seizures among your fellow bus riders are typically the result of reactions to medication or congenital brain diseases such as epilepsy, all of which are not contagious. You cannot catch a seizure from your bus companions. I hope the stricken man is recovering and that your fellow riders helped him in time of need. -Corrigan.”
Mikel Barajas’s daily life becomes twisted and tormented by computers that run everything in his world—being accosted by two men working for the government and taken to a meeting with another bureaucrat where he learns that he is “of interest” to some computers. Mikel’s life is in for some unexpected changes, his daily life becomes twisted and tormented by the computers running everything in his world, and then he meets Aria. Or Aria rescues him. Fick Suck has penned a tale about a world gone crazy that is well worth reading and enjoying.
