Hell

Peptide-based artificial neural networks replicate very well human reflexes and reactions, but they are expensive to make and impossible to reset.

You've been here before. It ends in pain. As soon as the thought forms wordless in our mind, the world charges at you and you crash against it, arms crossed in front of your face in a futile attempt at protection. You die in sudden, agonizing pain.

You wake up knowing that you've been here before, and that it ends in pain. It does.

And again.

And again.

The crash test dummies are the most realistic ever used, a triumph of engineering, but companies can't use them to test what happens to people who aren't using their safety belts.

They always try to get away from the car.
