So, I suppose to summarize our conclusions thus far:
The Net is a big part of society. In comparison to The Net, reality itself seems to be lackluster. Even as dangerous as these implants are, The Net is as addictive as any drug and there are some who feel the danger worth the risk.
Most work is done on The Net and almost all entertainment. Every day, places in the real world go out of business, and workers are laid off. Even those professions which had thrived before The Net have all but gone to dust. Only those who are unable, or unwilling have been all but assimilated into a culture where The Net is all.
With the advances in Stim-Jacking, or the ability to feel sensations through The Net, it seems as though the last nail is about to be driven into the coffin of reality. Once people are able to experience The Net as well, or even better than their own bodies, what is there left to keep them in the world we know?
