โœฆ Synopsis


In the year 2016โ€ฆ

โ€ฆAnamast, a leading Search Engine Corporation, will sponsor an innovative virtual school program for children of all ages. But alas, innovation does not come without minor collateral damages. Fortunately Anamast will have a solution for that too: a blue liquid called Parablu.

โ€ฆAll social networks will merge into one and become known as Society. Society will stop being inclusive and start being exclusive. Users will be associated with a Level to define their personal and professional status. Changing oneโ€™s profile will become almost impossible unless you are able to take part in the nation's favorite game show: Level 10.

โ€ฆSweet Dreams Inc. will be the market leader for โ€œvirtual transfersโ€, consisting in the physical termination of human beings and in the migration of their existence onto the corporationโ€™s servers, making their customers virtually yours, forever.
