About Through My Eyes: Humanity’s Unwitting Downfall:
A speculative dystopian novella reminiscent of Philip Dick and in the vein of George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Through My Eyes is a thought-provoking, high-concept dive into human nature in three acts.

“We all have a natural tendency to get lost in other worlds. But what if it got out of control?
What if there was a device able to let us see the world through the eyes of someone else?
The Empathy Machine is exactly that. It’s as much a triumph of technology and a neuroscientific milestone as it is the most dangerous thing humanity has ever dealt with. It allows an Observer to see through a Source. They experience the world through others’ senses and emotions — feeling what the other feels and forgetting themselves in the process.
For the first time in history, you can literally walk in someone else’s shoes. This resolves all the disputes mankind has been unable to resolve up to that point. The giant caveat is that the person receiving someone else’s signal becomes catatonic and addicted, unable to come back to themselves. Nothing will make them want to get out of the machine. All that’s left is the husk of a human being.
Is humanity ready to deal with it?”
