Hal’s home in Silicon Valley is a technological wizard’s dream come true. Gleaming white towers with golden runes engraved in them surround the estate and protect it from unwished weather or hackers. Peaceful gardens full of every flower imaginable surround the gleaming white house. Inside is a technological wonderland. Every room is a holosuite, and she has the best full dive computer interfaces I’d yet seen the first time I visited. I’d surfed the nets before but one trip in that house made me realize just how cheap the commercial sets my family had were. I truly felt like I was a program inside a computer matrix spread out as far as the eye could see. It was real shiny.
