"Earth was a sad space for all of its occupants. Space technology had slowed to a point where escaping and finding refuge in another planet was no longer a feasible option. However, neurological science developed greatly, and combining many things, created the first form of escapism that was not religion: Digital Log. Founded by Eric Astew, with a team of scientists. It was a much needed breakthrough in technology and helped those fed up with the reality of the Earth to find solace, with the first implements requiring long periods of time for each user to be individually scanned, signed in and uploading to the small database. With the years, the process became much more simple, and those who have uploaded their brain to the database, were put in safety pods to rest in a coma, whilst their brain was connected to the massive servers. Allowing them to live what they truly want. Free from bodily needs, becoming what they wanted. A animal, a self created being? It was entirely up to the user, and death was nothing to be afraid of. Eric Astew was fortunate enough to sell everything to a large company for wealth that could live through generations. The large company renamed the Digital Log to WEB, however most users still call it the Digital Log. The large company made the product available everywhere, and profits skyrocketed. Even though the rate of mortality due to accidents were high, people could now upload their minds to the database from the comfort of their own home!
Gosh. And upload." Erin Kade sighed, leaning back in his chair. "The fact that there's still an internet INSIDE a database is sick." He muttered, before moving on. He didn't like how all of his videos gained no attention. He stood up and got out of his cramped apartment, going into the lobby hall and taking a crazy fast elevator down from the 70th floor to the ground floor. He ran outside and looked up to see the digital, night sky, it was reminiscent of Earth's. But due to weather conditions, it was never truly clear. The moon was just an imitation, but it felt alive and realistic. The technology that existed in the NET felt endless, with orbital rings around the moon spinning around in perfect harmonious unison, something Earth may never experience. Erin would sometimes spend long minutes in a non-crowded area admiring the beauty, and perfectly calculated the orbital rings were. With basic telescopes, Erin was able to see numerous space expeditions, and high speed vehicles, it was because of the numerous orbital rings around the moon that allowed space travel to be readily available to the populous.
Erin snapped his attention back to the world at hand, due to death being a minuscule inconvenience, crime was usually rampant all around, nothing was truly perfect, no matter how harmonious it felt. Erin sprinted back into the apartment complex, and made it back safely.
