Lost Minds

Experiments to digitize the trillions of synaptic connections that comprise a biological consciousness have ended in catastrophic failure. A simple syntax error resulted in the instant erasure of our subjects' neural pathways. Some are calling it murder. The participants were all volunteers, but their grieving relatives are howling for justice. Compounding the problem is how difficult this has made finding new subjects.
