Scratchings in the Cyberverse

Remembrance Day, By Iain Triffitt, is the stand-out story of this issues. Expertly crafted, the tale takes place in a world where history has given way to entertainment. The populace can immerse themselves in a virtual re-enactment of events such as the sinking of the Titanic, but without any real risk to them – many historical events are not re-enacted because of their danger, and thus are forgotten. One designer of the virtual worlds rebels and seeks full accuracy in his worlds. Triffitt manages to make this world feel extremely real and viable as an alternate future, while also telling a beautiful and touching tale.
