In the world of Pluribus, the hive mind is doing everything it can to make life the best it can be for the 12 survivors. For Carol, that’s Zosia, the spitting image of the original, female love interest character in her Wycaro book. Carol and her hive mind “chaperone” Zosia have always had an intriguing dynamic. But this isn’t her reminiscing, it’s the hive mind sourcing a memory just like it can pull facts about everyone else on Earth. Much like the hive mind, those avatars aim to make you happy, even if it means you start to believe they are real people.
