This choice: A device of some sort appears in your room. • Go Back...Chapter #8Steve Jobs's Greatest "One More Thing" by: Unknown A circular metallic platform, a couple of inches high and about two feet in diameter, appears on the floor next to your desk. It has both an electrical plug and a USB connection to your computer, and there's an Apple logo on the front.
A bit confused, you bring your computer out of hibernation and first check the Windows start menu for an unfamiliar program that might control this device.
There it is, right at the top, as if you use it fairly often: "iFuck."
A program opens up that kind of looks like iTunes, but instead of album covers, it shows the faces and names of women. Some are movie/TV stars, some are porn stars you recognize, some appear to be Playboy centerfolds, some are even your classmates.
Curious, you pick one of your classmates and hit control-I for "get info." The window that pops up, incredibly, gives you a decent full-length nude image of her, along with various statistics about her -- and it appears that you can even change the stats. It says her bra size is 32A, but there's a slider bar which you move; going to the left, it makes the image completely flat-chested, but to the right, her breasts quickly get massive, soon overwhelming her torso. It looks weird, so you move the slider back and end on 32D -- still large on her teenage body.
There's a button at the bottom of the window that says "Activate in iFuck Device." If that does what you think it does...
But how is this even possible? The first thing you think of is Wikipedia, so you switch to Chrome and look up the device.
"The iFuck is a computer peripheral device and accompanying software designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The purpose of the device is to create a temporary simulacrum of a human for purposes of sexual intercourse..."
Your jaw drops as you continue to read the article in its matter-of-fact tone. The iFuck can create simulacra of nearly every post-puberty woman (and man) in the world, via files downloaded from Apple's iFuck Store for no more than a few dollars each; and the simulacra don't just look like the person, but for all intents and purposes, they are the person, with all kinds of data from photos to Facebook posts to supposedly-private phone calls -- of course, some things have to be extrapolated when the data doesn't exist, such as the full bodies of people who have never been photographed naked, but the article cites plenty of references of people being impressed by the correctness of the extrapolated info.
The article says that the simulacra will disappear if they go outside a radius of about 6 meters from the iFuck, and that the iFuck itself can't be moved while it's actively creating a simulacra. And as you saw, the iFuck software allows the simulacra to be physically altered from the original person to an extent.
Your eyes have pretty much glazed over by the time you get to the portion of the article detailing the worldwide court decisions, but it appears that it's not just legal, but accepted -- the device is apparently in "over half" of bedrooms in the U.S. at this point.
You finally close your browser and go back to the iFuck software, shaking your head at how the notebook's magic interpreted your "what if" statement. Time to take advantage.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
