digital world
A very interesting thing. Back when i first figured it out, i was a scientist, biotech i guess, although it wasn’t really that. I was working on dis-assembling the atoms of objects, and then turning that into binary code, which could then be sent across the internet, and re-assembled at the other end. i finally solved the secret of it all on a stormy day in December. I successfully transferred a quarter from one location to another. Then, being young, and over-eager, i tried myself. I thought there should be no reason not to, since i had perfected the “backup” system , of sorts. So i tried. It felt pretty darn strange, and i didn’t realize that the compression of the data would feel so damn compressing, but it worked.
My next idea was even more strange. I remembered reading those books about “living” in the net–sci-fi, and wanted to see if that could be done as well. My only caveat was that i knew this was going to take a long time without some and a little more knowledge of the net, as well as programming, and without a doubt some serious hacking. I would need teerzero. The best linux hacker/coder/networking genious on the net, with an ego to match–he called himself teerzero for a reason. This man was on a teer beyond the rest of the world, on his own. Of course that’s only the first part of the name, the reasons behind “zero” aren’t as interesting.
He thought it could be done, and 2 years later we were ready for the big test. We had a kind of virtual house, somewhat like Habbo Hotel. But with a true virtual environment that our bodies would be able to survive in. The issue of air was easily taken care of. It worked somewhat like “The Matrix,” a famous movie from the year of 1999.
On the day of the test, both of us paced around excitedly. Of course we knew there were risks, huge ones,. But if we could create something even better than the original concept of “The Matrix,” then, we would be virtual gods, literally.
