There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

I was awfully, horrifically certain that I could Change Things if I could just manage to make people aware of the raw power and capability of their own bodies. I boiled down any philosophy, worldview to that one point. You are in control of your body, which is where any line of action must inevitably start from. Your physical being is the beginning of every single influence you could have over the entire fucking universe. Fucking EMPOWERMENT.
Which, while true or not*, is completely moot because the majority only care about their bodies in the most superficial ways. If that.
* It's not.

Until I clicked this thread, I assumed when I saw the "Game of Thrones" thread popping up here that it was some sort of role playing game.
Back to your regularly scheduled discussion...

So, you think at some point Google will be done, having built the perfectly identical virtual world with an identical virtual version of me, and then big G can go about its own business violating its own damn virtual simulated privacy?
