In 2029, Swedish physicist Sven Anderberg and American medical doctor Neil St. John published a scientific paper that would change the world forever. After ten years of research, they had succeeded in a feat of biomedical engineering no one had thought possible. They had managed to make machines so small that they were capable of being injected into the human body. These nanobots had the capacity to read and record every process of the human body - every muscle movement, every nerve synapse, every memory, every feeling. And with that technology came the possibility of replicating one's consciousness digitally, of uploading one's entire persona onto a database that became known simply as "the Net."
At first, the only people who actually performed that upload were paid experimental subjects. But as the number of successes increased, so did public interest. Celebrities and other millionaires were the first to line up. Then came the discovery of new raw materials, cheap enough that ordinary citizens could afford the process. Many did. Who wouldn't want the ability to travel anywhere in the world instantaneously, anytime they wanted, the ability to conjure physical location from cyberspace, to adapt any physical form desired? It was, at first, a fad, which quickly became a way of life. People began to be employed on the Net, go to school on the Net, even fall in love on the Net. They still inhabited their physical forms, but they spent the majority of their lives in their uploaded form. Reproduction occurred the old-fashioned way, but many children were uploaded as soon as they were born, allowed to learn, grow, and mature on the Net as their physical bodies were cared for by paid "Keepers".
Then came the great war, the third world conflict the people of the earth had dreaded for so long. With the threat of nuclear warfare, the superpowers offered the "option" of permanent upload, free of charge, to all of their citizens. Trade physical existence, or what was left of it, for permanent security. Live forever. There were a handful of people who resisted, but the majority of earth's population gave up their bodies forever, allowed their physical forms to starve or be euthanized, uploading for good...
