Sarah Pinsker's We Are Satellites
Pinsker is GREAT at these near-future technology sorts of stories, so I’m not sure why I didn’t read this as soon as it was published. This one involves a brain implant—that creates a little light on your temple—to allow multitasking and optimized brain whatever, focusing at first on a family whose teen son and one mother want one, while the epileptic daughter can’t get one and the other mother is generally opposed. But soon it’s telling a bigger story about privilege, corporate corruption, the military-industrial complex, etc. not to make it sound boring; it’s super readable and the characters are great. I did want a little bit more from the ending, though. A-.
