Imagine a world without tangible natural beauty. A world where humans have wiped out every last rolling hillside, streaming waterfall, or glorious mountain range. All that remains is artificial technology constructed by medical media specialists, perfecting the illusion of that reminiscent beauty through a simple saline injection.
Resting with your eyes closed, you can picture the shapes and colours in your mind, feel the spray of the water on your skin, smell the needles that sweep off the pine trees, but you also feel the stinging sterilized fluid pumping through your veins. What seems real is actually an artificially engineered matrix used to make up for the pure and natural this earth used to foster before we destroyed it.
Our not so distant future.
