A History of the Future #2
"Hypernet Crazes"
(April through August, 2017)
From its inception, there had been many crazes on the Internet, then the Al Gore Memorial Super Highway, and finally the Hypernet. For instance, the selling of pieces of wrecked space craft, body parts, and even children. However, the most bizarre craze began on April 17, 2017, when Clarence Tu Tzu Williams, as a joke, offered his soul for sell on the popular site, buyit.now.
Even though souls had been offered for sell on the Internet in the past, most notably, President Gore's, the craze began in earnest when Tzu's soul sold for just under 20,000 adjusted new dollars. Said Tzu, "What's a soul, anyway? It's somebody else's idea of nothing. If someone wants to pay me for nothing, I'll take their cash, but I'd prefer euros." The starting bid had only been 50 a.n.d.
Soon souls were the most offered commodity on the Hypernet. A standardized, notarized title, was even developed for souls. It is estimated that by early August, 2017, between 1.5 and 2.2 million souls were sold and bought on buyit.now. However, in August, a young computational discovered that all of the souls had been purchased by only one individual. That person's name was never revealed, but it is estimated that he or she paid close to 1.3 billion adjusted new dollars, a record that has stood for over 300 years for any individual or corporation. The souls were never offered for resale.
Soon after, the craze ended.
