_Electricity sparks at the tips of your fingers, moving through your muscles, twitching them to send pulses down the wires of your computer. Code forms and disintegrates inside your mind, establishing the world you see and react to as your brain processes terabytes of information at a time, without you ever realizing it.

_The internet has given us a new place to exist. Here we are more than just flesh and blood, but disembodied, electronic code that becomes as real as we make it. We give ourselves names that we can change. We give ourselves faces and shapes. We create personae, opinions and voices from words typed into code, transmitted through the air onto digital displays.

_ We meet on the internet. We talk on the internet. We read our news here, we do our banking here. Despite all of this, none of it exists. It is all as immaterial as the electricity that twitches your fingers. Still, in this dark, nonexistent world of digital code, we still have the spark of conversation.
