Violence a natural reaction in a society
whose advances are limited to its new technology;

Data has replaced real life in this world,
no hope for the stop of progress
Inevitable bio-link implant
will replace the feel of human touch.
All memory surrogates downloaded,
bought and sold, no true sense of self.
Impending sensory death looming near.
A number, this is what you've become.
