Opis

In a future and a system far distant from our own, cybernetic chips are everywhere and everyone wants one. Cars fly by themselves, not drive, but fly. Beauty is engineered before birth, while birth itself is regulated by chips. Life perpetuates upon itself into perpetuity for the immortals. Everything is possible. Everything including death. Only if, of course, if one can afford the upgrades. To be a citizen, one must have a chip. The immortality of beauty and the freedom of flight are not free, but the state of boredom is. And yet, for those who live a life where nothing is limited, for those who have everything, what more could there possibly be? What more could there possibly be? In an fierce battle between conservationists and business interests, the Great Seal was placed around the planet Earth, restricting all interaction for the better of felidaen kind and human kind alike. And for thousands of years, nobody dared break the sanctity of this great decree, well aware that by doing so, the penalty would be sure death. But now, the vice of boredom has made Earth their target for idle play. Our greatest proof of their intelligent existence is in their absence.
