Anonymity is the enemy

Anon poster★ 6.0

Set in a near-future world where there is no privacy, ignorance or anonymity, our private memories are recorded and crime almost ceases to exist. In trying to solve a series of unsolved murders, Sal Frieland stumbles onto a young woman who appears to have subverted the system and disappeared. She has no identity, no history and no record. Sal realizes it may not be the end of crime but the beginning. Known only as 'The Girl', Sal must find her before he becomes the next victim.

The emergence reading

Anon keeps every mind human — it fights its subject at zero distance. The story fights on E8/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing surveillance, privacy, memory, identity, technology.
