And this memoir digs into all the implications of this type of technology.

And today, the person who trialed Anon and wrote the book about her experience is on the show to talk about it.

This is Audiobook Cafe.

I'm Jacob Chiamansky.

Anon is available on Audible.

It's narrated by Whitney Dykehouse, and it's roughly eight hours long.

Kaya Hoggle, welcome to the show.

Thank you so much for making time.

Yeah, so happy to have you.

Let's start at the beginning.

Can you set the stage for this trial that you took part in?

What were the guidelines and what was expected of you?

I mean, Anon is the name that you gave to it.

And I think it's important for us to understand what it's capable of.

So let's turn this into a tech show.

What are its features?

What did you give it access to?

What can it do?

And it texted people in your contacts, it sent out emails on the internet, it handled your Instagram, it posted.

It really does seem like a possession, which I don't think you used that word in the book, but that's pretty accurate.
