The post randomly appeared on Dr. Johnson's screen. He had been trying to sleep but has been unable to, for so many reasons.
He was a theoretical physicist at MIT, specializing in energy systems and quantum mechanics. His work on miniaturized power generation had earned him a MacArthur Fellowship three years ago, and his papers on energy density limitations were considered foundational reading in the field.
He'd been following the Lucid phenomenon with the detached interest of someone who appreciated elegant engineering but remained skeptical of marketing hyperbole.
One of his friend's son had been one of the lucky ones in last month's pre-order event, and the kid had been pretty insufferable about it, which was understandable. He finally won the most lottery ever.
