Reality 2.0

Reality as we know it is finished. Welcome to reality 2.0 where the internet is ubiquitous, and the world is forested with information.

In this new world, when you see a building, you can see its Wikipedia page, Flickr sets of photographs taken inside, the websites of the companies that are based in it, the public Twitter feeds of people who work there, intersecting spheres of free wifi radiating from it, and the energy flowing from its windows. In the lobby, you’ll see scores of handwritten messages from other visitors and users, recommending nearby coffee shops and suggesting that you take the stairs because the lifts are slow. There’s also a message only you can see, from the friend you’ve come to meet, saying take a seat – she already knows you’re here.
