PSA: After-death avatar
It is being claimed that immortality should be possible for the "wealthy elite" by 2045. This should be achieved through fully functional holographic human avatars. Now you should ask yourself, is it human and normal to talk to a person who has passed away a long time ago? You are still alive and you can't hold on the past. Instead you have to keep all the good memories connected to the person you lost and let bad feelings go away. I mean would you want your brain to be "transplanted into an artificial body"? Give it a serious thought!

→ If all the 7 billion humans stood on top of one another, the stack would approx. be 10 million kilometers tall.

A day in life of Monika
It's a typical Monday morning. My alarm goes off at 4:45 and I am still in my cosy little land of dreams. To snooze it I know I simply have to tap the screen, so that's what I do automatically. I snooze the alarm to get at least another nine minutes of sleep.
Next I go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Then I prepare my beloved breakfast - a classical oatmeal with fruits. I really can't get enough of it so I literally eat it every single morning.
As I need to start working at 6 AM I leave the house around 5:30 AM. After a six-hour shift (or four-hour shift depends on how I have class that afternoon) I drive home to leave the car in the garage. At noon I sometimes have a quick meal before I head to university.
