Jane can’t have secrets. As the leading online influencer, each fraction of her life is streamed for all to watch. Social media hears what she mumbles as she sleeps; sees her recoil in unexplained fear of deep water; leers over the sponsor’s logo tattooed between her shoulders. Everyone watches everyone, downvoting undesirables, exposing seditious thoughts, while endless advertising distracts them from the dust storms of their dying world. Private police watch over them with surveillance so complete that they can predict crimes before they occur.

But Jane recalls a different world, where her thoughts could be private and choices could be her own. She plans to wield her influence to make this the future. On the largest marketing holiday of the year, she’ll strike. All she needs is to keep her plans secret.

“Persistence of Vision” is speculative fiction about how social media, big data, and artificial intelligence affect our relationships with one another and with ourselves. Its central question is whether we can still make our own choices when we can no longer keep our lives private, or our thoughts secret.

About the Author:

T.J. Rowley is a Canadian author whose writing explores both the risks and the glimmering potential of emerging technology. A privacy advocate, TJ once made a freedom of information request to a credit agency to see the data profile they had on him. As it turned out, the agency thought he was two people. (They offered to monitor for such mistakes in the future – for a fee). TJ is in fact one person, whose other interests include artificial intelligence, the outdoors, and staving off dystopia.
