#+TITLE: First Day: Away From Home

Wherein, under the rule of Delia, we remember and think of those who
relied on technological tools of undoubted power, connected in
extraordinarily large networks throughout the whole world, fast and
omnipresent; and they trusted in the prodigious help of these networks
owned by others to communicate with other humans, to find what they were
looking for when they were not at home: therefore “away from home”.

That is to say: “In the home of others”. Where there were rules and
regulations decided by others, real contracts, pages and pages, often
long hieroglyphics of incomprehensible articles written in tight legal
language. The unfortunate sailors usually accepted them without
discussion. Indeed, heedless, they hurried on unknown platforms, but
highly recommended by “everyone”: without even having read or knowing
anything, they subscribed to each new rule with a scroll on the screen
or a quick click of the mouse.

“I have read and accepted,” they lied. Lightly!

And then they found themselves wrapped up in strange adventures that
took them to remote shores, to reach worlds so bizarre as to seem alien.
