SciFi to Go: Food for Thought (Third Flatiron Publishing, Summer/Fall 2026), pp. 31-39 [Third Flatiron #34]

It seems so innocuous a Ctrl+H, to search and replace the off tub of yoghurt you bought. What harm could it possibly do? But then your lunch date goes very right, and yet very wrong, and you realise you’ve exhausted your quota. You’ve put your foot in it and there’s no way to undo the damage. Except— could you try a Ctrl+H without memory protection? To alter that one key decision without knowing why? Stuff it, you decide. As Meat Loaf once sang: you would do anything for love (but now you won’t have done that…)!
