Achilles studied his headphones. They had begun to allow him to read people’s minds and he couldn’t determine why. Everything looked normal.
Achilles knew that many would find the ability to read minds a handy one, but he had downloaded the new Vampire Weekend album and wanted to listen to it. An impossible task with the thoughts of everyone in the room coursing through his headphones in perfectly clear stereo sound.
“Does this mean I have to buy another set of headphones?” Achilles mumbled to himself. “I just bought these!” If only his unreasonable supervisor Mr. Killinger would let him play music through his speakers.
Then Achilles noticed the switch labeled ESP on the side of his headphones. “How did I miss that?” Achilles wondered “Is that standard on these headphones? And if so, why did they get such a low rating on CNET”
Achilles decided not to trust the reviews of CNET any longer, a decision that had been a long time coming.
