Canto 10

Explanation of Setting: this talkie takes in a large continent sized piece of land known as the city that is made up into 23 separate districts, each name named after letter of the alphabet with their own policies and technologies known as singularities, which is what allows him to make their money. Each district is also divide up into two sections first the nest where the rich and workers of the corporation get to live in relative safety and then the Backstreets where poor and undesirable people live. And District 14: Nagle und Hammer (N Corp) is one of these corporations with government personnel and structure and based on World War II Germany. The singularity of Corp. is something known as a canned experience. Through their camera technology, they are able to take portions of people’s lives, record them, and store them in devices, which can then be relieved by others. When used a canned experience transports the users mind into a trance like state in which they will feel, hear, touch, and smell exactly what is portrayed within the experience. It has an addicting drug like effect, causing many residents of the district to become addicted to the high off happy memories in a solemn place like their district. The canned experiences are recorded and created in a physically unreachable place known as The Grand Magasin Sisyphe. The Grand Magasin Sisyphe serves two purposes, first and foremost it is used to create and sort, canned experiences and second it is used as a sort of prison or jail. The Grand Magasin Sisyphe is a colossal shopping mall not present in the real world, accessed only through experiencing death, the most common method being through the Sisyphe Penalty, in which the person is hanged and their mind is sent to Sisyphe.
