Description
Welcome to the Future! Two teenage boys share a new electronic toy which they manage via their computers. They've identified an unadvertised unique use and opportunity for its capabilities which rewards them handily. Not without risk of course. When they became wary of getting caught they switch to a new endeavor and run into potentially even more serious trouble. They strategize on how to stay safe and anonymously let the authorities know of a pending crime option. They get indirect kudos for helping avoid an unlawful event. In a busy metropolis years ahead in some future world, three men wrestle their interaction with avatars of friends and family. One has a former wife whose avatar insists on contacting him at crucial times when he is preparing detailed video instructions for preserving a patient's life in a remote facility. His ex-wife just can't seem to accept a final goodbye. Another man's ex-wife uses her computer hacking skills to access her ex-husband's bank accounts, and employs a young live female friend to gain access to the trust account vault where a vital strongbox is held. This friend claims the ex-husband got her pregnant in college many years before, and threatens blackmail unless major support funds are provided. The avatar and the live woman work together to secure their financial future. The tables get turned when ex-husband and hackers use sophisticated systems technology applications. A surprise ending affects all three players. Elsewhere a group of tennis players lament the passing of one of their members. His avatar however goads the remaining members in their matches, until one player comes up with a solution. The former now-dead member also turns against his still living wife who is unaware of his evil intentions. Should current members make her aware of what's planned? You'll have to read inside to see.
