But in "after" we discover that the Internet is the Internet and that the future is not just about the future; it's about what it means to be a human being. And now, in a novel about the rise of artificial intelligence, Maughan's vision of the future is a far cry from a mere cyberpunk dystopia.
The novel's central premise is that our digital lives are connected to the Internet, and its implications are far ranging. There are people who could send me e-mails or Facebook messages, I could send you a video-game update, or I could send you an "email" or a "news report" from a major news outlet. But it's not that the Internet is a place for us to store our data, or to share it with a peer. Instead, we are constantly connected to a global system of information, which our brains, like our computers, cannot process.
This interconnectedness is something that will be familiar to anyone who has ever been to the Internet, but in Maughan's world, it's not just a place for us to send emails, but for our news, to share with friends, to read news articles, to send texts, and to make phone calls.
And what it seems like to send an e-mail is that the sender might be unaware that your data has been shared with the government. It might be that the government has collected all the data it needs, but it's also been collecting it for decades. What it doesn't know is that the government is trying to collect some of it.
The real problem in the novel is that our brains are used to storing and reading information, and it might not be possible to be completely honest about what we're able to read. We need to know the real world to know how we communicate. We need to know if we can trust our friends and family, who are using the Internet to communicate with us, to communicate with us, and to communicate with our online friends. But our brains are not entirely certain.
In "after," we learn that our data is all stored in the cloud, and we can share it with other people. But there's a catch. All you have to do is create a new account for that account, and once you're connected to that account, you can go over your data to get an email address for that account. We don't have to go through the hassle of signing up for
