How augmented realities and avatars going to change the world
Augmented realities and avatars have long been the stuff of science fiction stories. However, there are novels and comics that explore these concepts which may not be too far from becoming a reality. One such concept is the metaverse, a term coined by Neil Stevenson in his 1992 novel "Snow Crash." The metaverse is essentially an online world with its own set of rules and nations. While it may sound like something out of a futuristic cult classic like "Ready Player One" or "Snow Crash," the metaverse is actually on its way and it will revolutionize human interaction as we know it.

Shipping Part 2
"All right, my crew. This is your captain. Our delightful guest is getting antsy, so Ely and I are going to open selected doors to let them feel like they're getting somewhere. This message is only going to the ones who are safe. Stay that way. Stay put till you are contacted by me - we will start moving you around through deserted halls, in small groups where food can be delivered. We will soon send out recovery parties, but first we're testing a counter to our guest's persuasive powers. Stand by."

Streets Of The Blade Runners
Fog blanketed the city like a shroud, the cold mist clinging to everything in sight. The rain had long since stopped, but the streets were still slick with moisture, reflecting the neon lights of Blade Runner. The city that never slept was even quieter tonight, a fitting atmosphere for Malcolm Hammer’s line of work. He sat in the dim light of his cluttered office, the scent of stale cigarettes and old books filling the air. His desk was covered in files, each one a testament to the mysteries he’d solved over the years. But today, something different awaited him. A single letter, addressed in a feminine handwriting, lay atop the pile. As Malcolm Hammer, Private Eye, reached for the letter, he knew his life was about to change.

The Saphirine, Part 2
"Un-bee-LEEV-ah-bull!" Each syllable echoed in the small room after the show. Pony Tail was agitatedly waving his arms and glaring at his friend. "So, let me get this straight: one of the richest women on the planet proposes to you, she's got access to tech shit we can't even BUY yet even if we had the budget which we don't and won't in a million years, you'll probably live longer than anyone you know, offers to PAY you for it, and you wanna run home to Mommy? A mommy who's batshit and wants to ruin your life? And has said so on numerous occasions?"
