The digital rights to the molars of some guy in New Jersey. A 420-minute album of hag house music generated with her handle as the seed. A vast library of 'fakes' and 'scams' collected as curios proving the hedgies can't control the 'chain. ![]() The video of Ian Falcon's final 720 noscope. ![]() A hangar's worth of spaceships for an MMO which shut down 17 years ago. The title to a square foot of land in Glencoe 2.0. Enough hats, garments, and skins for different games and cyberspaces to clothe half the Infobahn. A menagerie of StonedCatz, StonedDogz, StonedImagineBabyz, and so on, and so on. God rolls for every gun in Gods Of Combat-even those outwith the current meta, just in case.

Apparently it was named after some extinct animal? Hypnotised by its colourful pulsing LEDs, she'd fallen so deeply into this meditative motion and mantra that she almost missed her timeslot for a holoselfie with Min-Liang Tan's avatar. She'd been fascinated by a 'mouse', rolling the scrollwheel back and forth while rolling the word across her lips. Her middle finger twitched unconsciously as she scrolled, a habit she'd developed after her class at Jolt Cola Presents: LearnZone #C90103's trip to the local Razer Museum.

So in the wake of Cyber Monday, I now present to you a sneak peek at my third Non-Fungible Future novel, a mint read I call 'Worthless'. Well then!
