Someone created a groundbreaking and nigh-magical biochip. Let's call it
"quantum" instead of magical. When implanted in a human brain, it offered the
ability to instantly communicate with other hosts, all over the world. (I'm
not even sure speed of light is a factor.) Because of the potential power this
represented, the US Government had to have it. Because of the potential power
it represented, the US Gov't also decided to cripple it. The result was an
uninterruptible stream of audio/visual messages. The primary user interface
was a cartoonish version of Snippy (aka the president after Clinton), which
would relay messages, and offer "helpful suggestions." Think Clippy. The first
part of the A Girl and Her Fed webcomic is discovering the origin and purpose
behind "the chip," and figuring out how to fix the crippling. And this was
important, because 5 years of the constant Li'l Bush, plus the energy drain
from the chip resulted in a bunch of brainwashed, non-mentally-function
government agents. One of whom was Rachel Peng, who one day decided to stare
at the sun for a few hours. These books are her story *after* the agents had
rebelled and claimed their own voices.

Now go read the book! And/or the webcomic!  And then the other books!
