With the advent of the first commercially available 3D printers capable of scanning and printing humans, life on Earth changes instantly. The benefits are wondrous: people no longer age or sicken, as they re-print themselves young, and in peak health – with any physiological, intellectual, or psychological modifications they desire. But to pay for this service, society is forced to work hard, constantly. They no longer eat or sleep, choosing instead to re-print themselves as if they had already eaten well, and slept a full eight hours. The world becomes overwhelmingly overpopulated, bullet-paced, and stressed. Thankfully, Solace Inc has the solution: a pill which temporarily slows the user’s perception of time, and blots out the interminable busy-ness of the world. But Anders, a quiet anarchist who has worked his way to the top of Solace Inc, has modified the latest batch of Solace Pills. And this modification is going to change everything. ----- The Solace Pill Trilogy includes: * Solace Inc * Solace End * Preparation 162
