The Consortium is All. But Recorder Can No Longer Obey.
Recorder has no family, no friends, and no name. Donated to the Consortium before birth, her sole purpose is to maintain and verify the records. A neural implant and drone ensure compliance, punishing for displays of bias.
Suddenly cut off from controlling technology, Recorder tastes what it means to be human. But if the Consortium discovers her feelings, everyone she knows will be in danger.
With no name, no resources, and only an infinitesimal possibility of escape, Recorder's time is running out.

      Narrator Taylor Meskimen portrays the Recorder--who has no name, just a number--in a time when the Consortium controls society. The story is presented as journal entries, which Meskimen reads in a perky voice to start. As the Recorder is sent on her first mission to a space research station, Meskimen describes the implant that removes essentially all of the Recorder's personality and the drones that "discipline" her. After that implant is damaged and the drones are destroyed, Meskimen chronicles the Recorder's transformation. As the Recorder discovers how to think for herself, Meskimen allows a more nuanced range of emotions. For example, thoughtfulness, tension, and suspense creep into Meskimen's voice as the Recorder tries to protect her friends. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
