SUMMARY

Shambhala

By Alex Irvine

From The Dream Curator and Other Stories

If the Singularity ever happens, who’s to say it will be permanent? In “Shambhala,” residents of the Virt watch it begin to collapse around them as events down in the physical world prove to have dire consequences for their virtual paradise.
