In a near-future gig economy, her body is not her own.

​

While asleep, strangers rent Michaela’s body to experience life through her senses—virtual tourists who step into her skin from across the world. It’s seamless. Harmless. Voluntary.

​

Until it’s not.

​

When Michaela wakes with unexplained bruises, she and her coworker at the body-hosting agency start asking questions they were never meant to ask. Who’s really using their bodies? And what are they doing while the hosts sleep?

​

When your body is just another platform, what happens when you lose control of it?

​

A taut, thought-provoking novelette for fans of Black Mirror, Klara and the Sun, and Severance.
