E-suits: What will we wear in the future? And what will go wrong?

by Joe Devinny

Scientist Mars Gunnell works in the near future on E-suits. He examines the many improvements being proposed for the fantastic shape-shifting color-changing skin-tight suits that mold people’s bodies, already near perfection because of hormonogenetic controls on human growth. As programmers develop incredible apps with purposes as diverse as automatic dressing and remote intimacy, his job is to prevent the threatening side effects of the new technologies before they happen. But when an artificial intelligence system designed to recognize operating glitches instead finds a bizarre death, Mars plunges into a complex and fast-moving investigation to determine what happened and who is responsible. In a remarkable series of events, he finds his own suit used as a weapon against him. Read this story to see what you will be wearing in the future, and whether you will survive. (The first Mars Gunnell story.)
