Ten questions for reading groups and classrooms. They follow the premise and themes, so they work at any point in the book.
Kane has lived his whole life outside the OptiLink network. How does that outsider position shape what he notices once he can see?
OptiLink's picture is sharper than biological sight. Why would anyone give that up, even knowing the risks?
The novel separates persuasion from configuration. Where would you draw that line in the technology you use every day?
Glimpse Inc. sells restored sight as salvation. Can a product genuinely help its users and still be a channel for control?
Advertising in Eye See lives inside the visual field instead of interrupting it. What everyday versions of that already exist?
Kane reads the feed as a system rather than as reality. How does his background as a coder change the way he fights back?
Disability and autonomy run through the story. How does the book handle consent to a technology the user cannot inspect?
What role do Emily King and Apollo play in Kane's life as the feed turns against him?
Matt Locke spent years in talk radio asking who decides what an audience hears. Where do you see that question in the novel?
If OptiLink were offered to you tomorrow, would you take it? What would you need to know first?
Know what's next, first.
Occasional notes from Matt Locke on the next book, appearances and anything worth your attention. Only when there's something to say.
