"A True Utopia."
“And with that…” a smooth tone spoke, “concludes the first episode of my… uh…”, a few moments passed, the word just within my grasp… “Do you mean, video log?” a robotic voice queried. “Oh, yes. Video log.” *click*. A swift sigh escaped my lips in an exuberated manner. I briefly interacted with the hologram in front of me, dragging files and folders across the hovering screen and dusted off my two palms together in an accomplished effort. Rays of light intruding into my lab from a ceiling window spotlighted floating specs of dust throughout the tidy, organized space. White metallic floors shined ethereally, lined with faint glowing LEDs that shone a cyan backlight towards anything nearby. Towards the round corner, neatly packed boxes stuffed to the brim with folders sat upon a chair near my desk, which made home to a series of randomly placed holo-notes and what seemed to be a brand-new setup. And within the center of the small room, an omnidirectional treadmill was installed, designed for the usage of the user’s hologram. Essentially, this device allowed users to project themselves upon the world and transport themselves places without needing their physical bodies being there, an invention founded mid-way in the 3rd millennium. I lifted myself off the chair, and headed towards my destination.
