"Somewhere the world has stopped. The houses, the streets, motels, restaurants, gas-stations remained in a degraded desolation, which extended itself to the productive harness, to factories and to labour conditions. Somewhere, people no longer wanted to change reality, possibly run-out the capacity to process all the germanian and silicons microchips, the screens, hearers, helmets and holograms performance and started to use organic substance to build processors, with neurons as the conductor material and the body itself as the receptor, furnished as any Bioports peripheric, directly applied in the vertebral spine, which will be connected by an umbilical cable to the most overwhelming, hallucinatory source: virtual reality."
