I was born into a world where gravtech was normal, and everybody had a personal AI.  It was an easy world to grow up in.  I went to school, I went to the beach, I discovered girls.  At the age of twenty-five, I took the last of the Peloran Treatments and I stopped aging completely.  That was when I realized that I truly never had to grow up.  I didn’t have to worry about the past, because I had an infinite future to enjoy.  That was my history when the Shang came.
