This week's short story is 'Protocols of Transference' by Kathryn Gledhill-Tucker, a Nyungar technologist, writer, and digital rights activist living on Whadjuk Noongar boodjar, Western Australia.
Build a mechanical brain to hold and remember First Nations stories. 'Protocols of Transference's' narrator is a First Nation person who is gathering and saving Indigenous stories. They do this by building a digital and mechanical brain to hold the many stories that have been taken from Australia’s first peoples, and which they collectively mourn the loss of – and in this story - work to recover and revive.
The story is read by Dakotah Love, an upcoming talent and recent graduate of NIDA, the National Institute of Dramatic Art. Dakotah is a proud First Nations artist of the Anēwan mob, Armidale, New South Wales.
'Protocols of Transference', Kathryn Gledhill-Tucker, in This All Come Back Now: an anthology of First Nations speculative fiction, edited by Mikaela Saunders, UQP, 2022.
