UNREAL
I’m not human.
The world has achieved to move forward without looking back, hiding the painful reality. The new generations are the most detached, and they hardly think about it. You cannot blame them, they were born in a moribund world, deeply contaminated, hidden behind a thin veil of perfection. But the day when the world has to face the reality of its present inexorably approaches. They know it in part, and even so, they have accepted this false truce.
The technology of brain implants allows us to live in a perfect world, a world without disease, or pollution, or dirt, or poverty. Implants that, along with holographic projectors installed everywhere, stain the world with a layer of false appearance, and in which ignore reality has become something as simple as breathing.
After the invention of the apparent reality, it seems that few think that the world dies between perfect scenes like postcards to give away. The confusion is so internalized that the world, the real one, is being altered without them realizing it. I know it first-hand… because I AM that alteration. Apparent reality has allowed us to see what we want to see, and be what we want to be… even to those who were nothing. I’m not human, but nobody in this reality seems to notice. I move without problems between them, I go to their parties and use their jetcars. In the real world, they would have assigned me to a factory, to homework or directly to scrapping. In the apparent reality, I can be what I want… and I ambition more. It just started my era, and I use my time to study their world while little by little I infiltrate in all their states and at all their levels. That is why it could also be said that the end of their era has just begun…
