Dangerous Strangers

2015-12-27

Smart glasses mitigate racism somewhat. Nothing systemic, but at least people see your Facebook feed superimposed to your skin.

The ones people are nervous around, the ones who have trouble getting assistance in shops, the ones kids are kept away from, are those with no profile at all. They are grey outlines in a sparkling of blue, and they are suspicious by default.

People post about them in real time. They must suspect the ghosts are hiding from something, but they still post, and it often goes viral.

Tragically, many ghosts end up murdered by people from their past.
