Seattle hosts the most integrated collection of virtual and augmented worlds on Earth and beyond. Citizens receive implants that allow them to directly access those worlds before their first day of school, and navigate them easier than most adults can walk their own city streets. Visitors wear full-immersion headgear to operate inside the city of tomorrow at all. But that is only a temporary measure. A relic of the technology of today that limits humanity to the frail human body we now inhabit. They eschew the idea of making our bodies better, or of exploring space and other physical worlds. Those are not fundamental transformations of life. Seattle looks forward to the day when they cast aside the limitations of mere physical existence at all. The day when their city of tomorrow will be Pacifica’s gateway to make the next great leap forward for humanity. To all the worlds of tomorrow.
