Plot Summary[]
Nathan and Luke talk a bit before Nathan heads home. Ingrid gets everything ready, and multiple people are invited. The are David Choak, Luke’s grandmother, Yang from the 2 Gigabyte section, and another unnamed person. At the dinner, everyone talks a lot. The avatar of Nora comes in, and quirekly declares she is the intern filling in, which causes an akward moment.
Back at the Luddite community, Matteo brings Nora to a lodge where two people are there. One of them is an actor Boris Netherlands, who provided his appearance and looks as the A.I. guy in compensation for $1200. The other is a Ludd Cullyn, a member of the settlement. Their desire is to use Boris to infiltrate the Horizon so that they can spy and keep an eye on there; and no one would notice another copy of the A.I. While Nora and Matteo are setting up the software, Matteo says they do not like the technology used “to create inequality”.
Taking a moment to talk privately, Luke tells Nathan that Ingrid’s father used to play Raquetball with Pastor Rob of the Luddite community, so there was some history. Ingrid decides to “wash her hands”, but in reality, she walks to the door and picks up the pizza she had ordered. Nathan apologizes to the new intern, who is happy and tells Aleesha.
In the Luddite community, Nora was commended for the infiltration. She is now needed for another infiltration event with Agent Cheeto.
