This was a great read. The very concept of people psychologically altering your brain in order for you to be "useful", better "well-adjusted" and more fit for society, and the direct consequences of trying to mess with someone's mind, makes for a chilling but interesting idea for this story. Really good stuff here, I have a feeling I'm going to be thinking about this one for days now.
thanks again for checkin it out!! yeah i read a bit about mkultra before writing this and one of the things that stood out was the integration between psychology as an academic discipline and the imperialist state. that and some personal frustrations i've had with psychotherapy made it into the final script.
