The narrator is being upgraded to consultant, signing a contract where she agrees to being installed with a "non-invasive" pill-form technology called WeUs. After swallowing, the pill deposits nanobots behind her eyes, connecting her to the firm's networks, ferrying data to and fro. We see glimpses of the control and surveillance throughout the short story, but this is the beginning of her experience with it.Â
At first she feels sick, before feeling better and more productive than ever. She is being controlled, and she later notices that she starts staying later at work, doing harder workouts, spending more time with her colleagues and forgetting things.Â
