The grid is...

A dimension beyond cyberspace, or virtual reality. In this context, it is not cooperative computing. It is entered by attaining a certain state of mind. The Grid is featured in my science fiction novel Avalanche Injection. In this novel The Grid is discovered by Japanese Mystic Programmers in the year 2035. They discovered that it provides a much richer environment in which to interact with networked computer systems. By using a device called a grid inducer they are able to manipulate programs and data from a conscious dreamlike state. Their discovery has spread to the western world, although most westerners require the use of a purified street drug called Hydro to achieve the mental state necessary to enter The Grid. It is also discovered that while in The Grid one can interface directly with the physical world . . .
