You wake up from the daily system reboot. It feels like the reboot gets longer every year, and the hardware is getting slow. The first thing you see is the ceiling above you in this mildly cheap box home that resides on the 9th floor of the Commons building, just on the edge of Sebinter Work District. The room around you is quite bare, containing only a bed, a table with spare parts, the Visor, and there is a closet. The lighting comes from the thin tube, embedded in the ceiling, casting a dull white light over the room. The window to your right overlooks the edge of the Work District. The view is obstructed by the large neon sign that juts from the building advertising a Pleasure Chip: The latest in vices. You plug it into an adapter that connects to your sensory nerves, and with each Simulation, it generates every sensation that the Simulation offers.
