Wild Card's description
Brain-computer interfaces are created to manipulate dreams and parts of society become addicted to this alternative quest for utopia and false states of euphoria are created. Dream manipulation becomes a priority for parts of society and reality is neglected. People spend less time socialising as they are spending more time in the "dream world", and the population decreases as there is limited opportunity to date, marry or have children.
