turns sour?

soars to great heights, but what will happen when his body can
no longer fly?
Funny, dramatic and with a deliciously dark ending, Sweet
and Sour is perfect for those who love a Black
Mirror twist
Take the Korean culture trend of mukbang, add followers
and fame – and get a twist you’ll never see coming
Drawing on the author’s experience of working with influencers,
the story explores internet culture and the pitfalls of
AI
