Kimi

Angela Childs reviews data streams for the voice-activated companion server KIMI. Amidst a pandemic, though restrictions have eased, she suffers from agoraphobia and follows a strict routine, flirting - among other things - with her neighbor, and communicating with her mother, dentist and therapist via video chat, within the safety of her apartment in Seattle. But that changes when she hears something horrific in one of the streams and reporting a serious crime over email is deemed too risky. Angela hasn’t ventured outside since before the pandemic, so just getting to the office is a huge challenge. Determined to do the right thing, Angela has no idea what will actually happen when - and if - she’s able to step out of her comfort zone.
