"The World. A physical frontier. I tried to picture clusters of matter as they moved around outside the computer. What would they feel like? Databases? Spreadsheets? Were the freeways like circuits?

I got out." - Miku Hatsune, opening paragraph of Virtual Adventures in the Material World: A Memoir (Volume 2 of the Future Sound Chronicles)
