by Jim Munroe
In 2036, people in Vancouver are tired of rain. With a lot of guaranteed sunlight, they are ready to give up life without extra hours. A life free from crime and disease.

They have to watch how the latest prestigious technologies, the Self, are changing everything – not just the world, but humanity itself. On the bright side, rents have fallen. And in a few unexpected ways, flexibility is increasing. This fascinating work of art talks about what could happen when the cyber world becomes more important than the real world.
