Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden's Syndrome
John Scalzi
I read John Scalzi's Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden's Syndrome after Lock In. This is the opposite of the chronological order of the stories -- Unlocked tell the story of Haden's from the onset of the Great Flu through the invention of neural nets and threeps. Unlocked ends with the passage of the Abrams-Kettering Bill. Lock In begins just as the law is coming into effect. However, I think you could read them in either order -- Unlocked doesn't really tell you much you don't learn in Lock In. It just wraps a story around the background information, and we get to know some characters who were only mentioned in Lock In. such as President Haden and his wife.
If you liked Lock In, this is worth reading. But Unlocked is not as much fun as Lock In.
