A Little War

A Little War

War isn’t as bad as it used to be—not as many people die (on our side), now that we have “brain partitioning.” Instead of one person piloting one plane, or one drone—or, god forbid, fighting one-on-one—an individual’s brain can be partitioned into multiple parts.

A mind is incredibly powerful—able to evade, do target processing, or decide to fire all within the subconscious. You can even be reading a book or doing the laundry as you rent out your brain-processing time to the Army (or its subcontractors).

Battles conducted entirely in your subdivided consciousness are truly the future of humane combat.
