State of Change Part Four: The New Direction

I've just posted part four of my short novel, State of Change. We're coming up to halfway, and the story's shifting into high gear. We see the new inplant in action, and attend one of Zac's Hefner-cult parties.

This episode shows its age a little when we learn that the device is just a kind of augmented reality. I suppose it has a kind of Timeless Cronenberg mind-fuck appeal to it, but it's the sort of thing the young people do with a pair of specs these days (often alongside rather opaque "haptic systems"). Additionally, our hero receives an urgent message via fax. Viva the mid-90s!
