The body of the future is the schizoid body. It is the moody, liquid expression of multiple ME's. When slipping into the electronic body of cyberspace, one is dressing in the cloth of possibilities, mutating into alternate personalities.

The communication system concentrates on the transmission and receiving of sensual contact.
