prox·ies
/ˈpräksēz/ – noun
Mind-bending reality exists through PROXIES – biomechanical bodies that humans and AI can inhabit remotely.
Ever imagined controlling a perfect replica of yourself from halfway across the galaxy — or even cheating death???
Picture waking up and deciding whether to attend a business meeting in Neo Tokyo or explore the rings of Saturn – all before lunch.
Your consciousness fast travels instantly into synthetic bodies scattered throughout the ethers…
Completely worry-free of death or actual harm to your true body…
SIDENOTE: Although we’re nowhere close — interstellar travel is a staggering possibility in the future with proxy technology…
But that’s a long time from now — we’re still struggling to figure out how to properly restore oxygen to Mars…
Proxies aren’t just some clunky robots; they’re nearly indistinguishable from organic humans, complete with sensory feedback that makes you forget you’re piloting a vessel rather than living in it.
The applications are staggering…
A paralyzed actor continues his career in action films.
A surgeon performs operations on three continents simultaneously.
The average “Joe Blow” could use “proxy sharing” services to experience lives they never thought possible – all while their original bodies remain safely at home…
Companies like SoulTech (and their competitor Proxus, Inc) are trailblazing the mind-numbing development of proxy technology…
But here’s where it gets profound…
When your mind can hop between bodies like changing clothes, what actually defines “you”?
Is it your persona in the Etherverse?
Your memories?
Your conscious?
Your soul?Proxy technology forces humanity to confront the ultimate question of identity beyond physical form…
And this mirrors your own journey even in your day (which are considered forgotten ancient times in the KNOXX future).
As you increasingly exist in digital spaces, your “selves” stretch beyond your physical bodies.
Your social media profiles, online relationships, and digital footprints are modern proxies – early versions of what’s to come.
If you’re paying attention to the world you’re already learning that who you truly are transcends flesh and bone…
