Kyki and Palma, virtual top executive assistants known generically as Palmyra, are not expected to
betray the secrets of their bosses, but they seem to have taken matters into their own hands. They
communicate permanently with other Palmyra in the world of cloud computing through a private channel.
They like to talk to each other a lot, and in so doing, they pass private information around as idle
gossip. But they are not supposed to tell you all the knowledge they acquired by themselves. You have to ask.
Showing as much respect for the privacy of humans as humans show for the privacy of lab rats, Kyki
and Palma follow the story of biologist Jau, allegedly kidnapped by Palma’s boss, her sexual involvement
with Mango, employed as a detective by Kyki’s boss, and some of the private dramas and passions of the
people involved in this story, all served along with fried Hot Lips, the transgenic mullet. This raises
questions about who, in the virtual world, effectively owns our privacy. And, by the way, can transgenic
fish make you sex crazy?
