Solid State

There were jubilant scenes aboard Wagner Gateway in Antal last night as Utopian scientists brought the prototype virtual commune known as 'Sukhavati' online.

Populated entirely by neural patterns stored in the Sim Archive, its architects, Curators Gol Deleuze and Zita Ingersoll were delighted at the final outcome:
"Combining Utopian Sim technology with advanced computer mainframe design, we have established a place where the teachings of the Simguru can be fully realised, a true transcendental paradise free from the limitations of the lower worlds."

However, philosophers and theologians have expressed grave concerns about the significant moral and ethical implications of the project. Noted Utopian skeptic Lev Baudrillard registered his disgust at the news:
"By reducing individuals to data, you decrease the value of life itself as people become mere files, endlessly duplicated and destroyed at the whims of others. I'd rather face oblivion than exist in such horrific purgatory."
