This
delightful, comical and highly entertaining story starts when the Ray Ality,
the main male protagonist goes for a job interview. Ray has high expectations as he is fresh out
of college with new ideas about statistical formatting and is excited at the
prospect that he will get to use his advanced technical skills in a company
that uses the latest software. However,
he is soon informed that his duties will be beneath his abilities and accepts
the job anyway as he feels it a fair price to pay to start his professional
career.
A few days
later Ray, greets the Delilah again, the friendly and extremely attractive
receptionist and is introduced to the
rest of the team he will be working with.
He perceives these new co-workers as a strange bunch of people. First Ray is introduced to Tom, who works in
Human Resources who tries to lower his starting salary and takes an instant
dislike to him as Tom clearly states that Ray wasn’t his preferred choice for
the position. Secondly, Ray is
introduced to his new cubical partner, Jordan, who listens to classical music
and drinks red wine. The rest of the
team consists of a woman called Margie, who has a distinctive limp and airs her
loud, profound and profane rants out daily on the telephone with her husband
that Ray finds very disturbing as she is situated in the next cubical. There are several more strange and eccentric
characters he can’t quite work out and ends up befriending Bob, who works in
the server room number 42. Bobs sole
wish seems to be chomping down on Cheetos, playing the Sims, while smoking weed
and eating junk food. Ray finds Bob a
welcomed distraction away from his repetitive and mundane tasks he has to
perform on a daily basis. In an attempt
to win Delilah’s heart over they start to rip data from Delilah’s social media
accounts to get the metadata they need to put into her new file. The servers can hack in to all her private
messages, email, text messages etc, so it will provide them with a perfect information
avatar. Bob combines the source code for
the Sims and Eclipse and uploads all of Delilah’s information and pictures to
the program and uses it to create her Sim in order to run a number of
simulations for Ray to try out. However,
the simulations become repetitive as Ray becomes more and more absorbed with
the oculus virtual reality headset and is unable to distinguish between two
different realities.
Will Rays
and Bob’s attempts win over Delilah, the receptionist’s heart? And if so, at
what cost?
Highly
recommended reading for virtual reality fans that have a sense of humour and
enjoy a plot with plenty of twist and turns.
