Wow. I’m seriously loving this story so far.

Came over here from Web Fiction Guide.

It’s kind of like that sequence in 2001 where HAL complains that he can feel his mind going… but from HAL’s narrative perspective. Creepy ain’t even the word. *shiver*

I think this is the creepiest you’ve gotten with this story. I thought the virus eating FutureShock was a little unsettling, but this is worse.

My first thought would have been to suspend the visual rendering engine first, and possibly the smell and taste senses that aren’t being used, but… that would probably just make more people panic, and the motion rendering was probably the worst of it anyway.

Suspending time for a specified period might have worked, or.. slowing down the clock cycles so the real world goes by faster outside. Corrupted user files, though, are no better than restoring from backup… and if Irokai itself is rolled back, does that restore previous versions of the citizens from backup, or is there a strict anti-duplication routine in place?

This is especially chilling at the end, when his thought process and narration itself start to break into code. o.o
