Losing your mind to the virtual

From the book, 'I Maya'

'Eventually, in time the Fundamentals and Hackers were able to destroy enough of the infrastructure which limited supplies of electricity so that people who lived in the Virtual Reality World, who now lived in domed communities, died from the shock of being removed from their virtual world. It was too much for the mind so far removed from the hardship of reality to suddenly find themselves returned there'.


Analysing the quote

In the old world before it''s destruction, many humans reached a point where they could no longer tolerate the everyday mundane world. Virtual reality became the reality for many. There day to day life was an artificial fabrication of their own design. They were able to create an image of their perfect world and live in it, mentally anyway.
It became an addiction, the virtual world became the opium that they could not live without. When they were forced to confront the real again, they died, being so out of touch. The reality was not dynamic enough, they were hyper sensitive to a reality that did not feed all their desires.

On the train each day. I don't see anyone's eyes. Heads bowed down, they are in the reality of their tiny screens, preferring the screen to looking up and seeing the world. Eventually people will never look up, eventually the screens they look at now will be implanted so to just open your eyes will give them the opportunity of living in the make believe reality.

Our minds are now being moulded into one, thought patterns are being shaped by Tech Giants. Like a cigarette which has addictive substances, modern marketing also has additives making it harder for people to turn away and see the sky.
Let go of your phone, turn away and keep your independent mind before it's too late. The control over your mind has already started.
