Most of the name tags run: Hello, my id. is: automaton@everywhere.com. It's gone digital, every inch of the mile. Take a look around; people can't get enough. They travel in groups, all one conscience, each of them thinking that they are an individual, but not realizing that everyone else is thinking the exact same thing, eating the bullsh!t - handfuls at a time, as it is shoved into their faces, as if it were heavily-advertised belgian chocolate or smth.

Consequently, societies have been able to push people only up to some certain limits. When the limit of human endurance passes the comprehension, things start going wrong, so that either the society breaks down, or its functioning becomes pretty inefficient - gradually, or through vile conquest, attrition or d-evolution - replaced by some angry forms of mismanagement.
