Abstract
In the near future, huge plains of waste cover every corner of the planet. Global warming makes the surface uninhabitable and hostile. Earth is dead. But human beings gave life to its greatest invention, Pathos, a mechanical system that protects them, controls their five senses, and gives them a perfect life for a fee. Free thought is not allowed. Only pay-dreams provided by the system are permissible. But one day, one man dreams with the help of something different: his own mind.
