her makeup and style her hair. Her outfit had been carefully
coordinated by a program that had scanned Bob's browser
history and personal photos to respond to his preferences.

auditory implant exactly in order to sound sophisticated,
witty, and flirtatious. Why couldn't she get a man to show
interest in her? That's it, Traci decided. Tomorrow I'm
buying myself a subliminal idea implanter to take on dates.
