i have crafted the perfect body. i have crafted the perfect body,
with the most perfect eyes, eyes that recreate reality in all its detail.
mary shelly, ada lovelace, i followed the dream,
a game so real with pressure and smells and taste and temperature.
inhabit the shell! climb into the sphere! we're almost there!
are they dreaming of migration to a new home?
a parallel domain to gain insight into the (next) ultimate domain?
do they realize it's a game?
of course the king makes a big show, in ever expanding circles, of certain impressive magic,
but do they all BELIEVE?
as in not "why are we playing this game?"
