Entry Seven: Frog Mirrors
Objects of the world
The most important object is the memoriser. It is installed in your temple and stimulates the brain. It allows you to acquire new skills in your sleep by injecting the necessary impulses and memories. It is slightly visible from the outside and marks you as an adult in this world, since children are not yet allowed to have the operation required to install it.
To have a functioning society still everything system critical needs to get done. Since people often change their skills, there is a centralised system which collects memoriser data and assigns system critical tasks to people based on who currently possesses which skills.
A similar system has also been adopted by the populous to show which skills they can offer to people who need something done that they cannot do (which is mostly children).
This is done in the way of engraved signs (iconic and textual components) which are put on the street in front of people’s living places.
The same signs are also worn in smaller form as pins on clothing. Between adults, this is mainly used as a conversation starter and for children again, where they can get help.
Objects in the story
Androids - Obviously, there are androids. They are so advanced that you can’t tell if you are interacting with a real human being or not.
Illegal market for human sex workers - Androids do, however, have to state their nature when interacting with humans. This fact is taken advantage of in black market schemes, where hacked androids are sold as real humans for sex work. Much like rich CEOs (such as Mr. Musk) pay for child abuse today, the rich and famous can now afford real humans for sexual intercourse.
Underground sex dungeons - Much like orgy parties today, humans fetishizing human-human encounters meet up for sex parties. This is illegal and has to be kept secret, such parties are regularly raided by the police.
