Welcome to Concept Country
A vignette from an evening in the world's first network state.
You stroll down the street, mouth watering at the scent of birria simmering at taco carts on every other corner. You step into a sandwich shop and order banh mi before stepping back out where you almost bump into a xenohuman. You both laugh, apologize, and continue on your way.
Later you might visit the sensorium, or catch a game of cyber alai, but right now you are single-mindedly focused on getting home to your xartner. You ping xem from the levtrain, “on my way. back soon. <3”
The streets are clean. Civic drones hum as they trim the ideological hedges. The neon is all bisexual.
