<p>She stepped into that office building from the dry bed of a river, walked up two flights of stairs, and into a floor of empty cubicles. She turned at random, moving through the rows, and sat down at one of the desks and thought a while.</p>
|
||||
<p>A thought: <em>Why is the first instinct upon creating a wholly blank medium such as this to build in the nature we remember?</em></p>

|
||||
<p>A thought: <em>Why do we drag our memories around with us like luggage?</em></p>

||||

What would a land — if such could be said of the System — of those who had already seceded from the rest of humanity look like? How many would notice and rejoice? How many would notice and hate every second of it? How many would notice and not care, and how many would not even know that it had happened? That it had even been on the table?</p>
