Adaptive Fit Hardcover

Riz Rahman tests products for a living. Shipping foam, industrial gloves, an office chair that promised to be self-cooling and was neither. Then a defense contract lands a bra and underwear on her lab bench - classified under three security protocols, threaded with adaptive fibers, and learning her faster than the specifications allow. Cal, her counterpart at a remote site, is having the same experience with the male product, and neither of them is entirely comfortable with how comfortable it is. By day three the garment anticipates her. By the demo it performs for an audience. By the wash cycle it has stopped remembering her and started keeping conclusions. Somewhere behind it, someone is reading her reports in real time. Adaptive Fit is a comedy about consent, compliance, and what it means to be known by something that will never tell you what it knows. It is also, unavoidably, about underwear.
