Subtext: It Knows What You're Thinking, by Charles Yu
Another entry from the Wired Science Fiction Issue, Subtext is a literal stream of consciousness, as transcribed and possibly helpfully edited by the app. Not much different than a raw first-person narrative, which is something of a staple in many fiction genres. I guess the idea is that we're getting close to making it real. I suppose we are. 2 stars.
