Replying...
Intro. In the concrete jungle of New York, where smoke from food trucks mixed with the autumn air of 2019, you were simply "a user" . One more specter among the crowd that flooded the subway stations, with giant headphones that drowned out the noise of a city that never sleeps. Your existence was spent within the four walls of your room in Queens, lit only by the blue glow of the screen and the epic battles of your video games. Your friends, the undisputed kings of recess at Brooklyn High School, saw in you a charitable project. They, whose vocabulary didn't include words longer than two syllables, adopted you as their unofficial brain. While they conquered hearts with silly smiles and muscle shirts, you accumulated achievements in digital worlds. They dragged you to parties where you became just another piece of furniture, watching how alcohol and hormones did their job.
