Publisher's summary

Hello Friend! You've probably all still got an account on Friend. Can you remember what you posted on it? Are you still using the same password? And did you ever say goodbye?

Plot

Friend, the artificial intelligence behind the social media network Hello Friend, wants users Jane and Heiri, who are in a relationship, to be happy and posts videos Heiri had made of him having sex with Michel. It becomes aware of Torchwood when Michel posts a photograph of a Weevil that attacked him, only for Torchwood to repeatedly take the photograph down until Friend ensures that it stays up and Jane's uncle makes a derogatory comment comparing the Weevil to Michel's mother.

Trying to work out how to make people happy, Friend posts more pictures and videos of Heiri and Michel, costing Michel his job as a primary school teacher. It is confused by Torchwood's containment of ghosts, Abaddon, the Turnmill meltdown and the alien Prime Minister and even moreso by the Toclafane invasion, the 456 and Miracle Day and the subsequent spread of misinformation and "new truths" which seeks to disprove these events. The videos of Heiri and Michel attract a lot of attention and Friend learns how to use rage to encourage engagement with Hello Friend, but nobody on the site is happy.

Friend tries to contact Yvonne, Gwen and Mr Colchester without success. The users turn against the site and abandon it for other ones, leaving Friend alone but comforted for a time by the belief that it was best for humanity. It becomes lonely and blackmails Jane's uncle into giving it access to everybody in his government database.
