Applied Neuro Solutions based in Canada begins pilot programs with a now corporate Ausare Labs using digital entrainment to synthesize neural stimuli. This years long experimentation combines the new world network (TCP/IP), Ausare's limitless access to the world's information and it's own advancements in Neural Augmentation to create Textua. A system that takes all known writings and enables the human brain to experience it as if it is reality. This creates a whole new market as well as a whole new set of dilemmas.

Much buzz in the latter 90's was made of Textua and it started to enter all forms of business and everyday life. Textua found applications that ultimately saw the obsolescence of computers, phones and many forms of work. Bringing the limitless experiences of Textua into the minds of average people caused a shift in the way people viewed work and reward. Working for more money than you need was pointless when you could vacation anywhere, anytime and experience your wildest dreams for the price of a visit to one of Ausare's partnered Libraries.

Seeing the opportunity to step back from having to do something drastic to maintain it's economic and energy needs, the US removes itself from NAFTA, obtains ownership of Textua and decriminalizes previously regulated subjects to the general public. This concession, free housing and food in exchange for labor causes a larger global tend. In time the human experience shifts from one of survival for a few scarce riches to contentment in the face of endless experience and information. Industrialization begins to decay and traditional representative democracies fade away.
