Every corner of Royce's strange, futuristic cyberzone is right there at his fingertips.
As if it were just a natural part of his day, Royce calmly surveys a torrent of classified cyber messages that flicker before his eyes in a mad rush. It's a chaotic scene, but Royce doesn't panic, for he is the lord and master of this virtual dimension.
A lone cyber-wolf, he prowls not the bustling streets of the analog world, but the electric avenues of the metaverse.
"I found these really cool shoes on Zappos the other day," Royce says cryptically as he scans the contents of a dispatch from an info-merchant thousands of miles away. "They've got some good deals, actually. You should check it out."
Utilizing invisible digi-creds to purchase goods electronically, Royce navigates a vast cyber marketplace containing every item imaginable. But he needn't look too hard, for this is an interactive realm in which all of his preferences and desires are predicted automatically by the net-stream.
