Untitled SF: Chapter 3, wstyd, by Jon Cairns (sci-fi comic, 2012)
"Desynchronization Potential is the degree to which humans can safely dissociate their minds from their bodies in order to become more efficient components of an algal computer. [...] In the process of UI diving together, the borders of the individual minds soften and become porous, effectively allowing us to become each other. At my desync, I become them more completely than they become me."
Blurb: Jarek Łaniewski has an amazing desync potential and a real bad attitude. After a strange dive in an Algal computer leads to him getting his face pounded in by a coworker and then getting fired, he sets out to do a deep dive by himself... and gets more than he bargained for.
Why is it worth your time?: It's short, it's free, and Jon Cairns packs a lot of details to make his sci-fi world convincing despite the limited page count. It's also an interesting idea of a profession that involves group hiveminding to interact with a biological computer made of algae!
Plural Tags: identityblending, setting-specific, abuse not mentioned, realitymashing, teamwork, plural on purpose, visions
