"Really good short story about what the future may be like." ????? Amazon VINE VOICE Review An unhappy cyborg with a forbidden dream. A society that punishes change. A dangerous quest that could change Amy-341's future… or ruin it entirely. For centuries, men, women, and even children have filled narrow cubicles in skyscraping office buildings, rusty factory floors, and poorly lit illegal damp basements to slave for the survival of their families. Those jobs were low paid, grueling, and sometimes deadly. But for some, it was the only way to survive. By the end of the 21st century, a new generation of workers took over those jobs. These workers never get tired. They never break down. And they never dream. At least, they aren't supposed to. Amy-341 knows there must be more to her life than being a cyborg grunt. Her existence was designed by an algorithm, but she knows it's not the life she is meant for, because deep inside she feels capable of more. When a mysterious body hacker offers to help her escape, the sudden freedom takes Amy on her darkest journey yet, and she discovers that there is more than one set of chains holding her back. Through pain and disillusionment, punishment, and insurmountable obstacles, Amy struggles to break free of the system designed to keep her kind enslaved, and live the life that was taken away from her… ...before she loses her chance forever.
