From the fictional Eastern-European state of Slovstakia, Masha watches the livestream from Marcus and Angie's wedding in Boston. She has booked a drone to show up at the window of the wedding site and drop off a wedding gift for the couple, and the drone also transmits an alternate visual feed of the wedding for Masha to see, as well as other digital info about the activity in the room.
The drone came right up to the window and rapped on it politely. It had four big rotors and a sensor package that fed me all kinds of telemetry on the activity in the room, from Bluetooth device IDs to lidar outlines of all the humans in the space. The wedding livestream showed it tapping on the window from the bride and groom’s POV (the stream ran off about a dozen cameras and was smart enough to switch between them based on which one was capturing the most action); the stream from the drone showed me the opposite view, Marcus and his girl and all their nice nerdly friends and family gaping at the fisheye camera. (p. 20).Â
