Sad really, they would make an excellent place to hide out when the zombies come... Going forward, we will have to be content with hiding in little ole tea shops, and wee restaurants that are specialising in 2 covers every 2 hours, so no proper stock to stay holed up until the zombies go someplace else..

I was such a mall rat as a kid. What are these Gen Z or A or whatever generation we are on now supposed to do? Some kind of weird VR relationships?

Growing up we had limitless VR. It was called imagination! We also had, "OUTSIDE"! Couple those two together and an apple tree might become a B-17 or a guard tower. I weep for my grand children who don't know the joys of sliding down hills in cardboard boxes. Or, cutting paths in the grass and then having a game of tag.

Its all okay though, The Technology Company takes your privacy very seriously and gives you the ability to restrict sharing some of the personally identifiable information the device gathers while you are conscious. The tiny, almost not even mention-able, bit of information they sell allows them to provide you with many modern necessities, like shopping on TTC's virtual storefront, checking your account on TTC's fully virtual bank, summoning a transportation pod, and applying for a walking license, all for a nominal subscription fee.

Of course social responsibility is a large part of TTC's culture, and to this end, a key feature of the neural implant is the built-in safety mechanisms. The neural implant will alert authorities when it senses any one of more than 10,000 illegal activities in the vicinity, automatically provide information and assistance when greater than 8% deviation from societal normal is detected, and ensures civility and safety through TTC's proprietary Neural Reduction technology in times of elevated aggression and stress.

Security is always in the forefront of TTC's greatest minds, and with the neural implant, it can be in yours as well! The neural implant has been tested to be 99.967% secure against both hijacking and data piracy threats. In fact, TTC is so confident in its security, they offer a money-back guarantee^ if you can prove outside intrusion.

Don't be an antisocial Luddite, get with the times and sign up for your neural implant today! Its practically required*!

^Restricted to the last 2 years of subscription payments only.
*By law starting at 12:01am EST, January 1st, 2032.
