Cat Oyster
In a near-future gig economy, her body is not her own. While asleep, strangers rent Michaela’s body to experience life through her senses—virtual tourists who step into her skin from across the world.
It’s seamless. Harmless. Voluntary. Until it’s not. When Michaela wakes with unexplained bruises, she and her coworker at the body-hosting agency start asking questions they were never meant to ask.
Who’s really using their bodies? And what are they doing while the hosts sleep? When your body is just another platform, what happens when you lose control of it?
A taut, thought-provoking novelette for fans of Black Mirror, Klara and the Sun, and Severance.

The narration didn't do anything for me. The lack of breaks between sentences combined with the occasional monotony made me double check whether it was read by a real person.
interesting concept

I like the idea of the story, the concept and the general direction of the plot.
I found the writing slightly off, and strangely paced (though this could also be in part due to the narration, and my own inexperience with shorter stories like this). I didn't really find the characters very believable, and at all times I was very aware I was being told a story, rather than slipping into some dysfunctional future world.
The narration was not so great for me personally. I found it difficult to catch where a scene ended and another began, often there was no break. Sometimes the emphasis on words made me have to replay a sentence back in my head to understand what the author had intended.
Overall it won't take up much of your time, so worth a listen for the ideas if nothing else.
An interesting, but somewhat flawed short listen

A lesson about the rise of technology and how much of your freedoms you sacrifice for the illusion of happiness.
Great for a listen in a single day.
Cool concept on the edge of cyberpunk.
