Flights of fancy of humanity, dreams of fame, instantaneous movement, high above the clouds and to other planets – all these things are practically a reality today. Our thoughts and feelings have moved to digital clouds, to computers and gadgets. Our bodies exist in impossibly tall towers, in deserts, in conditions that were previously impossible for life, in space; and consciousness moves across the world without hinderance. Two worlds: the real and the virtual are irrevocably intertwined, and can no longer be separated. What used to be unimaginable becomes reality!
