Unlocked Set as Primer For Lock In:
John Scalzi is releasing a new novella titled “Unlocked” on May 7, 2014 in eBook format (print to be released later in limited quanity). This new work is a precursor to “Lock In,” another new Scalzi book set for an August 26, 2014 release date. “Lock In” is billed as a sci-fi thriller set in the near future, dominated by a condition known as Haden’s syndrome,” a disease characterized by patients that suffer from complete paralysis of just about everything but eye muscles. Patients are literally trapped in their bodies because they are awake and conscious, but unable to communicate with the exception of eye movement. As a primer to “Lock In,” the novella “Unlocked” will use an oral history format to discuss the development of Haden’s syndrome, how the disease spread throughout the world, and how health professionals struggled to prevent the further spread of the disease. John decided to write the novella because of a strong desire of his to create something in the oral history genre, and as a way to introduce readers to the well established world they will encounter in “Lock In” where Haden’s syndrome has existed for decades.
