Horizon Now

This is the tagline VirtueLife has used for decades to entice the seething masses of unemployed to walk into any of their Virtualization clinics and leave the resource-starved Earth behind.

The procedure is a simple periphectomy. They’ll unburden you of your high-carbon-footprint body and place you into their high-tech storage jars, from which you can join the virtualized civilization living across fantastic and impossible worlds simulated to real-life fidelity through a sophisticated cloud server net… so long as you make your payments.

Horizon Now follows the story of Laura Mendez, a cultural outcast and under-appreciated designer who builds fantasy worlds for virtual billionaires, as she gets caught up in the web of a clandestine military project which seeks to profit from the fusion of advanced AI with the human brain.
