Publisher's summary
Tyler Steele has a job moderating the comments section of a website. His old friend Petra is a star reporter for the newspaper. And Tyler realises the newspaper is going to kill her.
Plot
Reporter and science correspondent Petra Malik wants to continue reporting on the comatose Charlie's experimental implant, but has to sideline the story pending the results as she needs to make a certain number of views. She complains to Tyler, an old friend whom she got a job as a moderator, and Barry Beans, who works in digital strategy, about threatening and offensive comments which are now permitted under her stories due to a new rule prioritising interaction, but Barry refuses to do anything unless she becomes "edgier" and reports on stories produced by an algorithm. This leads to her being punched by a man protesting the teaching of sexuality at a primary school.
