New IF: Neon Dreams
Summary:
"Currently, the year is 2119. The distant future, everyone thought would bring joy and prosperity, and truth be told, for the most part, it did. At least, to the upper crust, to the "regular" society, living in Techstra, their own little piece of Heaven. As for the rest of us? We were left to rot. So basically, when it comes to a societal change, nothing happened, on that front."
"Most of the kids, back when I was little, fantasised about a cyberpunk utopia, thinking how cool it will be, how amazing. It is, I can't argue with that, but, what they all failed to see, is how dangerous it would become. No privacy, no nothing. Survival of the fittest means little, when everyone can just get augmented, and be as strong as an ox, or as fast as a cheetah. The higher up we go, the further down we reach."
"Though, all is not lost; there is still faith, in the younger generations. I'll try to lead them right, to show them the right path, and how things should be. How they should handle themselves, and hopefully, I'll lead us into a better tomorrow. Or, I'll try. At least I'll try."
"My final message would be, to not trust anyone, let alone me. Only have faith in yourself, for that is something they can't take away. Also, you should strive for higher goals, and not let yourself be defined by your past, or the past in general. Everything changes; that's how one stays immortal. Yes, that's it."
"All the gang business, it's just a means to an end. All the gang lords and ladies, and the ****ing council, they are all irrelevant, at the end of the day."
"In the end, only you will remain."
Kane Bloom, from the disintegrated letters to himself.
