Here we have a short story, a prequel to Scalzi's upcoming book Lock In. The story is written in interview form, where people explain the history of Haden's Syndrome and how people and the government reacted.
It was a quick read and I enjoyed reading about the research and innovation that came about in the wake of an epedemic. The story actually kind of reminded me of Surrogates and I, Robot and I'm already looking forward to the release of Lock In.
