• 2 tsp 1984

I know what you’re thinking, ’cause right now I’m thinking the same thing.  Actually, I’ve been thinking it ever since I got here.  Why, oh why didn’t I order the steak with mushroom sauce?  But have you ever really tasted steak?  I mean, really, really tasted it?  What if it didn’t really exist?  You’d put it in your mouth and a computer program would tell your mind that it was juicy and delicious.  If you’re willing to ignore the fate of the world, you can have your steak and eat it too.  Toss your Equilibrium in an oven pre-heated to 400F.  You need to leave it in there for about 15 to 20 minutes.  While it’s cooking, make up the mushroom sauce that will garnish your fake-steak.  In a medium sauce pan, saute the Blade Runner until tender.  Then add the Alice in Wonderland to deglaze the pan.  Drop in 1984 and stir until it’s melted and well mixed in.  Lastly, stir in Hackers a little bit at a time until it’s thickened.  And remember it might be difficult to tell if your meal is real if you’re not The One.  If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then ‘real’ is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.  So in the end, does it make a difference?
