Tony was an interesting guest-host. The ad for SSS went on a TAD long though.
As for the story... I figured it out about a minute before it was revealed, and was not disappointed. The concept makes sense, and the story was well-told, but I would have rathered Nathan defeated the implant the way he planned to (by facing the gravesite) but then made a conscious choice to slow down.
Unfortunately, slowing down these days isn't permitted because the moment you slow down you're fired. Perhaps this is a near-future story (2030 is pretty close), but I can't see there EVER being a slowdown in the work world.
Also, a minor point -- how long would Nathan lose his license for? Permanently? A year? A few months? I would think you'd lose your license for less time.
The story doesn't focus on it, but it makes me wonder about the kind of psychological damage the removal of the implant would do -- would you suddenly become more reckless? Or would your psyche be so messed up that you'd need psychological care? And could Nathan go to a psychologist? Or would said psych be in danger of having a license revoked for helping someone get past the implant? Jenny's dad sure as hell can go to a counselor to help him deal with the grief, and in fact it would be very healthy for him to do so. Why would Nathan be forbidden from doing the same? Or does the implant prevent psychotherapy from even working?
It takes a good story to bring up all these questions, even though it's tough to think about if you're a parent. (I'm betting we get at least 20 replies saying something like that; you want the over or the under?)
The reading was done by a professional, as was noted, so there's nothing really to complain about. I like how he pulled off the different characters without really changing his voice very much. Even the dead kid.
