Momento Mori -

The greatest paradox of the human condition is human nature’s need for governance and the human spirit’s need for freedom.

Virtual and augmented realties comes into prominence on the prospects of a renewed landscape of freedom and for roughly a century as newer technologies continued to emerge that frontier/horizon remained.

Character Arcs -

Janus is spurred from pawning springs into a political agenda. Vesta derails from a career as a programmer to become an activist for privacy (She sees the Hypocrisy in how Nox could pursue his path precisely because his missteps didn’t follow him).
