Life, Hacked: Science Fiction
Dec. 2nd, 2009 11:45 pmHer life was hacked on a fine, sunny Sunday afternoon as she snoozed beside the pool. She didn't realize anything was wrong until a lot of the guys nearby started paying her *way* more attention, in a way more familiar way, than she was used to. When she gave one of them a cold brush-off, he complained that her profile wasn't like that--and he'd even gone and gotten a membership at the place she recommended. Then she started to see her world changing slightly around her. She couldn't tell which required fees were phishing attempts and which were legitimate, which made her walk through a speedway without paying and get a ticket.
Inspiration: A friend's social network account got hacked.
Story Potential: Medium-high
Notes: Extrapolating to a future where information overlays and automatic information transfers really are a part of everyday realworld interactions, as they're beginning to be. Smartphones that project a web of data over realtime phone camera pictures etc.
