I played a game inside Hal’s home the first time I visited. She enjoys playing with the kids you know. It was the best game I’d ever played. I really was there. I know full dives have gotten better since I was a kid, but I’ll never forget what my first time was like. I spent hours just walking around Wonderland and thinking that everything was so odd. The programs that lived there were so much smarter than the AIs I’d grown up with. Then I came back out to find that only a few seconds had gone by in the physical world. That was the first time I truly understood how fast the cybernetic world goes by. How slow we are compared to them. It actually scared me.
