Cyborg Theorem

Remember how they made a movie called Tron and after that made a sequel called Tron: Legacy? That's pretty much how the world is now. Robots and all the technology. People with mechanical hearts can become someone's partner and birds that used to lay eggs now lay microchips.

 

It all happened in a year. Someone made this great technology where he could transport in and out of his computer without affecting all humanly attributes. Everyone was awed. Now the whole world is a gigantic computer. Some people made the resistance against them and managed to preserve part of the natural environment but I know that someday it'll be gone too.

 

I, Byun Baekhyun, used to wake up everyday hearing the birds chirp and rest in the tree branches, trying to escape the summer heat. But now, all I see are robotic birds that don't even fly naturally. The world is just that. Metals, electricity, power circuits.

 

All my friends have gotten their mechanical partners. Luhan's was called Sehun. Jongin's was called Kyungsoo. Yixing's was called Joonmyeon. Kris's was called Zitao. The mechanical partners, an illusion of what a perfect person could be in this impossible world.

 

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't have a mechanical partner. Even Mom and Dad divorced to get someone who was made out of metal.

 

I need to find someone real.

Chapter 2: This was a really good read actually. I enjoyed Baekhyun's desire for something else and not just the machine world he lived in. Though I'm curious how his pancakes were robot shaped if the robots looked like humans. >.>

Otherwise, the mega memory card disk was interesting and pretty original really. There's a game now that has something like it but I think you started this before it came out. lol Did Baekhyun never have any contact with his real dad in this world? And what about his friends? You mentioned them in the beginning but then we never see or hear anything about them in the three month time span.

Don't get me wrong. I think it was adorable the way that he and Chanyeol got to know each other and started to fall in love and all that cute stuff. XD Just curious about details and such. I did see the resistance is in the woods outside the protective walls which reminds me so much of Aeon Flux! The series was better than the movie imo. Back to the story! lol

I enjoyed your attention to detail in terms of the electricity and the way that they had to drink modified fluids and how things had been tampered with and changed so very much. Also, the point when they get to Chanyeol's cottage was fairly realistic too with his mother's reaction. I can very much see that happening. Did they ever find his sister though? haha

Definitely a warm ending too. I'm glad things worked out for them and did enjoy this overall. Good job!

Chapter 1: Hmm. Very interesting concept here. Are mechanical partners rather like soul mates in this world? Or are they just preferable to having a human partner?

And in terms of the natural environment being preserved, would you be able to elaborate on that some more? Is it like some tiny section of nature that's untouched or is it a corner of civilization that clings to the old ways? I'm just curious, though that might be answered in the next chapter too. lol
