When brain implants become the new normal, one family is split by the choice.
Val and Julie want what’s best for their kids. So when their son David asks for a “Pilot”—a sleek brain-enhancing implant designed to boost focus—they say yes. Soon everyone’s getting one: students, professionals, even Julie. Everyone except Val and daughter Sophie.
But the more “connected” the world becomes, the more Sophie sees what’s being lost—and who’s being left behind.
As the divide deepens and the Pilot becomes impossible to escape, Sophie joins a resistance movement that will challenge corporate power, societal pressure, and her own family.
In We Are Satellites, Hugo Award winner Sarah Pinsker delivers a smart, intimate, and chilling look at the cost of progress—and the power of dissent.
