Millions of Little Threads by Robert Pantano

“It’s as if there are countless interconnected threads woven through everything—each thought, choice, and encounter—and inevitably, these threads become entangled. Kennedy Weatherly, a young, isolated, and anxious finance professional, undergoes a perplexing ordeal after having a brain-machine interface implanted, a device that operates through brain signals. He inexplicably encounters issues with the device and is unable to pinpoint the source. Kennedy soon becomes ensnared in a bewildering labyrinth of customer support procedures as his problem worsens. In the near-future landscape, he must grapple with regaining control over his life in a progressively surreal and disorienting world. Millions of Little Threads delves into the dark recesses of human isolation, offering a blend of dark humor, as it prompts contemplation on the nature of progress, technology, and the profound experience of being caught in the vortex of existence.”
