About BLISS

BLISS

Troy tries to escaping the pressures of reality by plugging himself into his favourite programme, the "Be-Loved Interactive Social Simulator" (BLISS), but a technical error causes everything to go horribly wrong. 

BLISS is a "satirical commentary on our age of consumerism, in which online escapism and addiction become mainstream".
