WV - Wavyverse. A neural mental medium in which people can compose and share dream-like experiences directly to each other’s nervous system. All scenes in WV are tableau vivants with minimal character animation. As if one’s brain updates only what is minimally necessary to see, hear, feel.

ZOROASTER IMMEASURABLES (ZIM) emerges as a pioneer in neural augmentation. Their most wavy asset, Bag Of Beliefs (BOB) - a class of artificial sub-personality - promises to guide people through life’s psychological challenges.

While some adapt to life with BOBs, humanistas fear the obsolescence of the species. They reserve special outrage for ZIM’s most controversial open secret: the experimental BOB called DESTINY BOB.

ORLANDO, 17, in sportswear, a medal around his neck, zips down a coastal road on a performance bicycle. Floating camera orbs trail behind him. On a straightaway, he takes his hands off the handle bars and holds them together in a prayer pose. Steady like a pro. Closes his eyes. Still steady. High speed.
