Silicon Hearts

DEBUT In a world analogous to our own but with slightly improved tech, such as holographic phones, 21-year-old Camila Diaz is accepted into a prestigious internship program at a Silicon Valley company alongside four other candidates. The five of them quickly become friends despite their disparate backgrounds. Cam even finds a budding romantic relationship with fellow intern Marcus. While the group is given access to technology and resources beyond what they’ve ever experienced before, the projects with which they applied to the internship are not prioritized by company leadership. They’ll all have to decide what their goals are and what they are willing to risk in order to build technology they believe in. The San Francisco setting plays an active part in this narrative. The romance, however, does not. The romantic pairings are given less space than friend outings or creating a market for Cam’s tech passion project.
