==Chapter 1==


I am back in Los Angeles where the buildings are not looking as I expected.

Shattered blocks of buildings appear spontaneously on the ground.

Trash is accumulating everywhere while the people do not have the decency to clean up after it.

On my way to my home in downtown L.A., I witnessed many slums which had not existed 5 years ago.

I am also hearing an increasing amount of curse words being used by the people on a daily basis.

I could have never imagined how this place became like this. As an engineer and director of an engineering industry called the Trad Corporation, I recently developed a product called the Perceiver.

The purpose of the Trad Corporation is to make people’s lives easier and safer with advanced technology.

People wear my product which is considered to be ‘stylish’ just as they would wear a pair of glasses which would be used throughout their daily lives.

The Perceiver transmits external information to the user very efficiently through advanced infrared sensors and a quantum processor.
 
This processer is revolutionary since information has never been transferred so efficiently before. 

It will easily transmit information to anyone wearing it through the lens without even lifting a finger. 

This can also warn people if an object is going their way very fast. 

With its multimedia system, watching movies and sending messages directly from the brain could never be easier. 

I decided to test out my new technology in Los Angeles, CA because it is a city that is composed of diverse groups of people. 

In this way, I can accumulate data that will allow my product to be targeted to the rest of the world. 

However, the tests are not going as I expected. 

I want to make great use of this technology, but it seems like the people in Los Angeles are using it for their own interests.

I just recently saw on the news that a man used the Perceiver to attain information about one’s social security number for identity theft.

There are also news of men cheating on their wives with the help of the Perceiver to notify them when their wife is coming home. 

People are taking advantage of the technology to deceive, gossip, and steal others’ personal information.
 
This is terrible.

I met up with an engineer from Los Angeles named George who would like to work with me to solve the problem of people using the technology immorally.

As much as I dislike the idea, I must find a way to limit the Perceiver in order to disable immoral practices by creating a new operating system for the Perceiver.

By creating a new improved operating system, this will give limited access to the user by using a system that checks the user’s way of using the Perceiver.

The next morning, I received a message on the Perceiver from George inviting me to lunch where I will be able to discuss matters regarding the Perceiver’s operating system.

It is especially windy in downtown L.A. so it was a difficult drive to the restaurant. 

This caused me to be late because there were many roadblocks since many trees fell down.  

I entered the restaurant and found George who was wearing a black trench coat. 

I was not surprised to see that he was wearing a Perceiver, but I felt a sense of accomplishment seeing another engineer use my product. 

He gave me a confirming look when I approached him and smiled using one side of his mouth. 

I apologized for being late but he cut me off midway through my apology, 
“I added a new stylish look to the Perceiver! Look!,” George rejoiced.

He took off the Perceiver and handed it to me. 

Apparently, it did not look any different from the way I designed it. 

Then he said, “You won’t realize it, but I changed the metal into carbon fiber to make it lighter.”

The Perceiver has already been very light so it did not feel any lighter than it was. 

I started wondering if he was fabricating ideas. Then he suggested,
“Let’s get to it! I would like to sign the contract for a portion of your company before we start updating the Perceiver!”

“What do you mean?” A contract is not required. You stated that we should just work on improving the operating system in order to prevent users from using the product in immoral manners,” I responded.

“Look. This is my job. I do not have time to solve all these petty problems of society. People could do whatever they want with technology for all I care! I want at least ten percent of the corporation’s share,” he blunted.

I am astonished by what he just said. 

I really want to solve this problem.

“Alright, let’s make a deal. We’ll work on this project together. I just really want to solve this problem. You will get only five percent of the corporation’s profits,” I said.
 
He immediately agreed, to my surprise.  

I would seem like a fool to make such a decision to even give him five percent of the corporation’s profits. 

However, I want to grasp any chance in improving my product to benefit society. 

That is my priority. 

I logged into my Perceiver’s account database to give George administrative powers in the company.
