For too long and for too many years, the people looked down. Down at the glowing squares stitched into their arms. Down at the small screens which promised to care for them. Watch over them. Store their hopes and dreams. And offer wondrous dancing images before their eyes.

But the people failed to see beyond the shimmer and the glow.

They failed to see the danger that lurked beneath.
