Synopsis of ‘Memories with Maya’
Genre: Hard Science Fiction
By Clyde Dsouza
“It’s Complicated,” Daniel types, updating his profile’s
relationship status on his social network. He’s just lost his girlfriend.
Emotions after all, are shared on-line. Daniel (Dan) breathes
technology. He will stop at nothing to win her back. He lives in a
world where augmented reality and e-sunglasses; Visors, are fast
becoming common place and not the subject of sci-fi.
Dan makes a living straddling a fine line between hacking and
extortion, using a simple trick: Spoofing Wifi networks in public
places. His legitimate work involves creating A.R. solutions for
Real-Estate. The recession and an explosion of data-cops is drying
out his streams of income.
He turns to close friend Krish, a researcher in Artificial
Intelligence, in the hope that they can come up with ideas for the
Entertainment market.
After her father passes away Maya’s family has to return back to their homeland.
Dan and Maya continue their relationship via Dirrogates (Digital Surrogates),
simulating human touch through haptics.
Krish gets a job at the prestigious A.I.R.I. Using AIRI’s lab and under
guidance from Prof. Kumar; Krish’s mentor, they create an advanced
visor, with Augmented Intelligence built in. They dub it “Wizer.”
A Board member at AIRI sees potential in the Wizer other than what Dan and
Krish have in mind.
At a test in a nightclub, things go wrong…
