Discussion question:
[quote]Do you think technology will reach the heights that is does in the story? Would this enhanced user experience capture you to the point that the main character is captured? Where is the line drawn for you in directed advertisements. (We're seeing this happen now on FB/Google and in stores like [url=http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/19/magazine/shopping-habits.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0]Target[/url] already)[/quote]

sheeeeit that was pretty good. Love the company name Abricot, nice jab at Apple. I don't know if technology will ever reach that state. It would imply that our understanding of human psychology/neurology would some day reach the point that we can some day create AI which truly mimics human sentience and can relate to us as well (or even better) as other people do. Pretty scary thought IMO.
