— How can you describe such a large library if the books no longer exist? - It was what I thought when looking around me. So many people walked from there to here, there was too much noise to make it really a library.
The smell of sweet dough and hot drink in the air filled my lungs, there were so many concepts to describe that blinded me like the bright light of the yellow sun through the ceiling, it was simply impressive the futuristic style of its structure and the whiteness that was all surface around me, again, awesome.
And among all the magnificence of that room was me, trying to understand how to operate one of the many muted monitors of the library, I think I won the mocking looks of those present when I realized that I had no idea what I was doing. It was embarrassing while hard, but finally I saw a button. The impulse was instinctive.
Pressing the soft button the monitor was lit, a large red letters formed the word "ATLAS", then a small disk came out through a slot, to take it I guess, or so said the striking instruction in the interface of the ATLAS from the library.
A few seconds after taking it in my hands, the program automatically ran. - Welcome to the database of the Causal Union - Said the monotonous robot voice of the disc.- Where all the information you need is here, waiting safely to satisfy your desires of knowledge within the borders of our corporation. Your presence is very important to us.
Later, a yellowish humanoid hologram emerged, with very simple facial features to look at, masculine by default, dressed casually without remarkable details, barefoot and with short hair, almost like a philosophy teacher of some university. Which, without any detour, spoke directly to me, the reader.- Greetings, I am LUX, your personal assistant and the 8th generation AI at your service.
— I can see you're starting to explore our world, is not it? - Lux consulted with great kindness .—
Well do not worry that I'm here, I'll tell you everything you need to understand the story, I know that at first it can be difficult and even too slow for the taste, but what better to start from the Principle to understand the great story that is in front of you.
Lux took a breath, preparing her best and most charismatic voice before speaking.— So ... What do you think of a bit of context to begin with?
