`` Welcome to Connect-a-net. Are you a new subscriber or a continuing connector?'' 
 
 `` New subscriber.'' He chose joylessly. 
 
 The Connect-a-net system had just recently taken over what was previously coined as `` The Government''. Every citizen was to subscribe to at least a basic level of connection in order to receive communication from Connect-a-net headquarters about their duties. Jimbo was not one of the original supporters of this new network method, but neither was he one of those `` activists'' who were against the privatization of identity. He was a family man first, and everything else second. 
 
 When time came for all citizens to set up a connection, the young persons joined first. Not just first, but they joined excitedly. It was a new technological set up - where The Government had issued everyone physical cards, The Connect-a-net made the people themselves into connection nodes to not only utilize their inherent cognitive power, but also to be able to communicate directly without a medium. 
 
 `` We have many options for the new subscriber. Would you like the Basic connection, the Basic Plus, the Premium, or the Super Gold?'' The Connect-a-pod asked. 
 
 `` The Basic connection.'' He chose solely because it was the only one he could afford. 
 
 He would have thought it were ridiculous that he had to pay for the mandatory Up-connect had he not had to pay for food under the old regime. Indeed, both instances forced him to pay for the mandatory substances for life, but under both instances, this life that he payed for was spent just trying to earn more currency in order to pay for more life. 
 
 `` The Basic connection. **We deducted 10 coins for your connection for the next month. You are now connected. **'' The Connect-a-pod replied. 
 
 `` 10 coins for each connection each month. Looks like I'll have to take an extra shift if I want to make it next month.'' He thought to himself as he passed the old `` activist'' hideout.
