About Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden's Syndrome by John Scalzi

John Scalzi’s science-fiction novella Unlocked presents the history of Haden’s Syndrome as an oral history. In its near-future setting, a virus spreads around the globe; while most people experience flu-like symptoms, an unlucky one percent are left awake and aware but unable to control their bodies.

Through accounts from doctors, scientists, engineers, politicians, and survivors, the novella follows the outbreak, efforts to find a cure, and the changes that reshape society. It serves as a prequel to Lock In and Head On, and may appeal to readers interested in speculative pandemics, social change, and stories told through multiple voices.
