Abstract

A "wind" blows in a world made of information.
This collection of short stories, beginning with the winner of the 13th Sogen Science Fiction Short Story Award, depicts a future where it is possible to live in a virtual world separate from one's body.

I don't want to scatter. I still have too much attachment to my true self to return to intangible information. In the near future, people who have difficulty living in their physical bodies due to illness or disability can live in a virtual world as "information personalities." Information personality Koharu uses a service that "rents her body for one day" to attend a party with her college classmates. The person who lends her body is a university student much older than her. Sharing one body, the two spend a special day together. A collection of fresh debut works, including the winner of the 13th Sogen SF Short Story Award.
