~ Futures in the Memories Market by Nina Kiriki Hoffman - 3*
As it often is, the host's comments at the end of the podcast helped me process what I read a little better and there are some great comments on the actual story page on Clarkesworld here: http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/hoffman_06_10/ Especially Ratzmandious. (Wow, what a good thinker.)
Opens with: You can't do anything else when you emp one of Geeta Tilrassen's memory modules. Her senses seize you; you see through her eyes, taste with her tongue, hear with her ears. And touch? You've never felt air against your skin until you've felt it breathe across hers. In a desert environment, there's a sense of cinnamon in the air. When Geeta's on a water world, you feel the humidity as embrace instead of torture, as though you are constantly being kissed. Every module Geeta makes is fresh and innocent, and every time you use one, you feel as though it's the first time.
Our narrator is her bodyguard I believe. But we learn he also is
I wouldn't have appreciated the story as much without the narrator's (and reviews) thoughts so ty for that.
