The Dream Box wasn't a place, but it was a destination. It wasn't life, but it was a way of life. Reese wasn't awake in the Meat Space the way he was in Cyber, where a billion liters of endorphins blasted through the biological wiring of his veins with every corner his mind turned, where every conscious or subconscious choice he made was infused with importance. Linked in, he could partake of the guiltless ecstasy that was up for grabs, even for people like him. Linked in as Balmus, he could even be his own hero. Daniel Pike
About This Quote

The Dream Box was a series of computer games that ran in your head. You could play them anywhere. When you were asleep, you were still in the Meat Space. But while you were awake, you were in Cyber, living life by choice.

The Dream Box wasn't a place, but it was a destination. It was where people went when they didn't want to be alive anymore. You could have anything you wanted there.
