Its 2045 we are in the middle of the biggest boom in 50 years. The dividing line between those that have and those that have not have become wider. My name is Travis James and i am nearly 30. My life hasn't progressed as i hoped. My second company has just gone bust. I have lost everything from my home to my hot girlfriend. I went off the rails after it happened and crashed his sports car moments after finding out it was being repossed. I suffered serious injuries. 20 years ago i would have being brain dead and in a wheelchair. Doctors can reboot your brain and apply your mental capabilities, preferances and personality based on your online profiles and family and friends input. They also implant a metal skelton to anyone seriously injured. While i can walk again. I walk in a structured way. People know you have had a metal sketlon implant. While i dont know my personality is different everyone that knows me does.
I have taken a low paid job. The old me would never have taken a role like this but the new me thinks its fine. I met an ex one day. She comes back to my crummy apartment and cant believe what has happened to me. She says i dont care about how you are different but what happened to your risk taking, your creativity and your ambition. I said i dont know maybe i have matured. She joked and said were you rebooted and all the dangerous characterististic removed. I tried to make a move and she laughed and said i dont care you are broke but i dont fuck boring guys.
After that day i started to look for personality chips on the black market. They were crazy money so i tried to develop my own. I developed all the charactertists over time that i thought would me cool, smart, funny and attractive to women. It would work short term but after time everyone would say it was like i was manufured and trying too hard.
I was pissed off so decided to go on holiday. I went to eastern europe where chicks were hot and the weather was nice. I had some fun but after a few days i realised i couldnt get away from myself no matter where i went on holiday. One day i was wasted and i watched an online advert for a virtual reality holiday. The place was called actuality and it promised to make dreams a reality. The advert said whats the one thing that all ways goes on holiday with you. Yes you. Imagine being a millionare, or a famous sportstar, imagine being so hot women can't resist you. Or imagine being an action hero. VR trips had being banned as they are highly addictive and expensive. People had lost everything to be part of this dream world. Other tool their own lives when they couldnt asjust to real life. In the western world it was banned and only a very small level of it existed underground. Anyone found to be selling it or using it would be imprisoned indefinetly. However in Latvia it was not illegal. I decided fuck it i would give it a go.
