The future is a cold place when you have no past. Marketing exec Erica Crawford lost hers when a coma robbed her of all memory of the last ten years, and not even the FBI knows what she’s been up to. Now she wanders the streets of 2025 Chicago, trying to get by on a meager allowance of government assistance credits, without friends, funds, or a work history within the last decade. Increased automation and a depressed economy have put a lot of people in her situation – but how many of the urban poor are stalked by assassins sent by a past they can’t remember? How many of them have to rely on strange skills and muscle memory to survive? Between the drone filled skies up above, and the rumbling of the El trains down below, Erica’s only hope is to adapt to the streets of a world where technoshock can be as deadly as a hit-man’s pistol.Cold Reboot is a cyberpunk thriller audiodrama, and the second season from Burning Brigid Media's Synesthesia Theatre podcast. Set in Chicago in 2025, it tells the story of a woman who can't remember the past decade trying to put her life together in a world of mass unemployment, rampant automation, and cold cold shoulders. Can she succeed, or will the assassins pursuing her end her problems, once and for all?
