What if you could wake up one morning and discover you were looking at the world through the interface of your favorite MMORPG? Suddenly you can see people’s names and monitor your Reputation with them. You can identify objects and even locate them on the built-in map. An unknown piece of wetware in your brain rates your every action, issues quests, and rewards you with XP and new levels. It even bestows some very special abilities upon you.
This isn’t some end-of-the-world scenario. This is here and now. An ordinary guy. An ordinary city. An ordinary life. Was.
Not any more, though. These days, even something as mundane as a quick jogging practice around the block can earn you XP points. Which in turn can earn you a new level. Which in turn... no. No spoilers, sorry.
