MOX

SAMNIASHVILI DATO
The head of a psychiatric hospital discovers a diary of a dead patient under the code name M13 who tells a story of an ideal universe called MOX.
MOX is a program, moreover a virtual reality, universe which stands beyond time and space. It is the product of technologies, existing beyond technologies. Its users are in post-human conditions; they refute fear, morals, competition, pain etc. to “human” incentives. Though everyone always has answers to every question, in MOX everything is senseless; moreover no one is disturbed with this senselessness because just being alive here is enough. While travelling in the material world M13 discovers a MOX-bug called “Nostalgia”; After the discovery the user starts asking questions and it turns out that only in the material world is it possible to find the answers. And the main question is if anyone has ever thought that life, with all its diversity and mystery, is predestined to become a weapon which (for the sake of cognition) will destroy the whole universe.

‘Poor man…’
‘May he rest in peace!’
The Blue eyes are scrutinizing the black ones. A youngster is talking with the oldster who has nearly reached the end of his days due to advanced age. According to the laws of nature and the average index of mortality, the youngster is going to survive the oldster by half a century at least, which is twice as long as the former has lived so far; while the latter, in his turn, has already lived three-times longer than the former. The black eyes answer the youthful curiosity with total indifference.
The youngster is not going to capitulate and adds one more phrase, “Poor man”, to the previously uttered “May he rest in peace”. A mere wordplay. The black eyeballs know that the two addends can be turned around and the sum will remain the same. So it cannot shake their indifference. These two black eyes have seen a lot, and the couple of ears, set along them, have heard a lot as well. Nevertheless, there is a slight difference between these organs: the old man’s eyesight is perfect but he has been a bit hard of hearing lately. The youngster knows it, and he is well aware of his boss, too. The oldster is a very experienced doctor. He has been working at this asylum for 45 years, and has been its head for the last 25; “Mr. Director”, as he is addressed by the hospital staff. (See PDF)
