內容簡介

In the second half of the 21st century, an app became the most banned digital product of the known history. It was called Life. Its creators, Sandesh Singh Chhetri, and Paulus Markkanen, both forced to live the rest of their lives in a space station, Tiny Moon. The app was a big revolution. Even in the first three years after its creation, the worldwide alcohol and drug use decreased by sixty percent. People didn't need those anymore. They had Life now. The revolution started with Nobel laureated German theoretical physicist Joachim Rudiger's 'reverse time theory'. Based on his theory, scientists artificially created a state that evolves in a direction opposite to that of the thermodynamic arrow of time. Not long before, the silicon valley folk joined the game with their quantum computers. The rest was history. Life app dramatically changed our understanding of who we were. Before it, people split in half to a great extent. Those who believed that humankind had been created by God. And those who favored evolution theory. Now it was a scientific fact that both the religious beliefs and evolution theory had been wrong. The existence, as we experienced, simply did not exist. Scientists managed to observe beyond the Big Bang. The new face of science discarded the old one. With this new perspective, our previous unknown unknowns became known. Now humankind was able to bend the time and travel in time. In science fictions of the first quarter of the century and before, most time travel narratives described transportation of bodies through time zones. Now that we learned that our bodies, and even the concept we called time, didn't exist, we started to experience our past and future by connecting our brain waves to our distant ancestors, or to people who would have the same pedigree with us. Most people experienced the past. Because most of us were nostalgic. And most of us were afraid of the future. And it turned out our future fear was justified. Some of us experienced the last human beings' lives in the future. And this future was not a distant one. Learning that our precious Milky Way would collapse in a half-millennium shocked every living soul to the core. When you were in the app, you were just an observer. You couldn't control the mind of the host. But you could see what the host had seen, hear what the host had heard, taste what the had tasted, touch everything the host had touched. You could walk, talk, sleep, fight, fuck and get fucked through the host. You could also save the host you enjoyed in order to be able to be transferred into him or her again. In short, you could be anybody you want from the past and future, as long as you shared a bloodline with them. One of the creators dies and a crew of astronauts and reporters are sent to the Tiny Moon to interwiev with the other creator and bring the dead body back to the Earth. But the Finnish creator has his own agenda to set himself free for good. (The seventh of Captivating Tale is a technothriller short story.)
