The year is 2033, eighty years after the world was plunged into a nuclear conflict that left much of the land uninhabitable and world economies and cultures teetering on the brink of collapse. Japanese company—LiveRite Corporation—has completed work on a groundbreaking project. ‘Project Memoria’ gives families the option to scan their loved ones into the Digiscape, a virtual experience to house the minds and memories of the recently deceased so that they might live on forever. At a small, recurring cost.
