I can see it now, little ant sized treadmills in huge farm towers, each
ant in its own life sustaining pod, completely unaware of the real
world around it, fed a virtual reality by nanonetware and nutritious
slurry to keep it walking, generating energy for us, its gods, to use
for our every whim. What is this hellish distopia? The Antrix.
Oh, there will be dissidents, escapees, living in the bowels of the
earth in a low tech colony called Anton. We will have agents among
them, seeking out insurgent ants... they will seek our destruction,
burrowing into the structure of our homes, destroying from within...
"Mister Anterson, we have had our eyes on you," said Agent Smith.
