Rock's new world was nothing more than a long advertisement for his MacBook Pro. He awoke late at night and was influenced enough by it that he walked into his living room and opened his computer. All it showed him were video after video of enormous indoor spaces in various shopping malls, airports, and hotel lobbies, as if they would demonstrate his laptop's power and clarity.
The rooms were empty of people, but he found that he could call up individuals to see how they fit in. The first man walked around aimlessly for a minute or two before he stopped to complain. "You know what, this is really boring," he said. "Could you take me out of this?"
Finally Rock was able to call up his own house, and was very grateful to find he could eat out of the refrigerator. He wondered if he could simply drop into the video and eat free food for life.
