Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z I try to think of the attack simulation, and what it did to the Abnegation. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “I don’t know. All I know is that I’m always aware during simulations, and sometimes I can wake myself up from them. Sometimes they don’t even work. Like the attack simulation.” Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z A psychologist explains a computer simulation in which activation builds up in a neuron until it fires “like popcorn in a pan.” The Sense of Style 2014-09-04T00:00:00Z I just have to remember that I have the power to manipulate the simulations, and that I have practiced it before. Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z The simulations should disturb me more; they should break my mind, as they have been doing to most of the other initiates. Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z “Now if only you could get a simulation to suppress that particular ability, we could be done with this.” Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “Anyway, your fears are rarely what they appear to be in the simulation,” he adds. Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z “My execution? But she . . . she hasn’t developed the right simulation yet; she couldn’t possibly...” Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z Chat rooms were stand-alone simulations—temporary virtual spaces that avatars could access from anywhere in OASIS. Ready Player One: A Novel 2011-08-16T00:00:00Z There is only one thing left for me in the world now, and it is to destroy the simulation. Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z “You may have succeeded in shutting down the attack simulation, girl, but it was by luck alone, not skill. I would die of shock if you managed to do anything useful again for a longtime.” Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z The orange-brown liquid in the syringe reminds me of what they inject us with before simulations. Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z “For the purposes of this exercise, though, each of you will only face one of my fears, to get a sense for how the simulation works.” Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z What if she was right, even if she was just a part of a simulation? Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z And she doesn’t ask about my shoulder, how I was shot, what happened when I left the Abnegation safe house to stop the simulation. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “Among other things, you . . . you are someone who is aware, when they are in a simulation, that what they are experiencing is not real,” she says. Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z Frank tried to imagine staying here with Iris, putting on a R.O.F.L. shirt, selling crystals and dream catchers to demigod travelers and lobbing gluten-free cupcake simulations at passing monsters. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z I want this new reality to be a simulation that I could manipulate if I could only make sense of it. Allegiant 2013-10-22T00:00:00Z Today the simulation was the same as yesterday: Someone held me at gunpoint and ordered me to shoot my family. Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z Nothing like what I just described ever happened to him in the aptitude test simulation, I know. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “Are you telling me that you were almost murdered by the Erudite ... and then fought your way into the Dauntless compound... and destroyed the simulation?” Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z She asked me to tell Caleb to research the simulation serum—why? Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z “The people in the city, as a whole, are innocent. The people in the Bureau, who supplied Jeanine with the attack simulation, are not innocent.” Allegiant 2013-10-22T00:00:00Z “Everything about you checked out: test results, initiation simulations, everything. But here you are nonetheless.” Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z “We cant get out of here* I say. “Because this is a simulation.” Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z Seabiscuit, like any prey animal, was hard-wired to bound forward at the whip’s brush over his hindquarters, a simulation of a predator’s grasp.

Ready Player One: A Novel 2011-08-16T00:00:00Z “Therefore, it was necessary that I develop a new form of simulation to which they are not immune. I have been forced to reassess my own assumptions. That is where you come in.” Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z A segment of the floor is made of glass, real glass, not a virtual simulation, and through it swims a stream of gold and scarlet koi fish. Warcross 2017-09-12T00:00:00Z I will never let someone else inject me again, not after letting Eric inject me with attack simulation serum after my final test. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “All we saw was you running the simulation and her nearly getting punched to death-before she gave up. Then you stopped, had a rather abrupt lovers’ reconciliation, and stole the hard drive together. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “Before the simulation attack, part of the Abnegation aid effort involved testing the factionless for a certain genetic anomaly,” she says. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z Somewhere up there is the chair I sat in while I was running the attack simulation, and a smear of Tris’s father’s blood on the wall. Allegiant 2013-10-22T00:00:00Z “One of the defining characteristics of the Divergent is that their minds are Assistant to simulations,” says Tobias. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z But at this point, they weren’t showing the telecast of the real Apollo 11 spacecraft, only a simulation of it racing toward the moon. Gone Crazy in Alabama 2015-04-21T00:00:00Z “It’s like the fear landscape simulation—you were aware while you were in it, and you could manipulate it. Except for me, it’s like that in every simulation.” Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z Inside the simulation, no one knew who you really were, unless you wanted them to. Ready Player One: A Novel 2011-08-16T00:00:00Z Marlene launches into a description of the simulations, and I let her voice, and Caleb’s voice, wash over me as I finish my sandwich. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z He is just a hallucination within a simulation. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “And then I heard her voice. Somehow, that enabled me to fight the simulation.” Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “I’d never seen that kind of simulation before. You know, from the outside. But yesterday...” Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z In this city, “control” means needles and serums and seeing without seeing; it means simulations, like the one that almost made me kill Tris, or the one that made the Dauntless into an army. Allegiant 2013-10-22T00:00:00Z Her eyes were pulled into the television screen like JimmyTrotter’s had been as he hoped for a glimpse of the astronauts instead of those simulations and the broadcasts of mission control. Gone Crazy in Alabama 2015-04-21T00:00:00Z “Speaking of which,'’ Niles says, “I think we should focus on what happened that day. What do you remember about being under the simulation?” Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “They were probably under the simulation,” Tobias says, “and are now .. .” He pauses. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z Unfortunately the goddess sent another blessing, too—a gentle rain of gluten-free R.O.F.L. cupcake simulations, which Percy figured would either make cleaning up harder, or rebuilding easier. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z Imagine wandering through the most realistic virtual Paris ever, or lounging in a full simulation of Hawaii’s beaches. Warcross 2017-09-12T00:00:00Z He might be one of the people who offered Jeanine Matthews the attack simulation, but I still don’t relish his screams of pain. Allegiant 2013-10-22T00:00:00Z I take my time on my walk back to the Eaton house, and try to remember what my mother told me when she saved me from the tank during the simulation attack. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z The genetic anomaly that makes me aware during simulations also suggests I could be resistant to serums, so my truth serum testimony might not be reliable. Allegiant 2013-10-22T00:00:00Z “The attack simulation serum, I mean. No question.” Allegiant 2013-10-22T00:00:00Z And this meant what she was doing to me—trying to find a simulation that worked on me. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z The real-live broadcast and not a simulation with actors playing the parts of the astronauts. Gone Crazy in Alabama 2015-04-21T00:00:00Z They would never have considered me if I had not stopped the attack simulation. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z I have never been this afraid before, and considering all that I have seen in simulations, and all that I did during the attack simulation, that doesn’t make any sense. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z He walks back to the simulation room and slams the door behind him. Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z “The simulation measures your fear response,” I say softly I’m just repeating what he told us, but reminding him might help him. Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z Without the simulation technology, without the data they had about all the other factions, without their focus on technological advancement, the attack on Abnegation would not have happened. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “Someone who can then manipulate the simulation or even shut it down. And also . . .” She leans forward and looks into my eyes. Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z “Perhaps their intention was merely to identify us. It seems like useful information to have, if they intend to use their simulations again.” Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z The truth about the attack simulation brewed hate for the Bureau inside me, and I want to watch it break apart from within. Allegiant 2013-10-22T00:00:00Z “Really. The simulations in Erudite headquarters .. . helped me, somehow. To hold on, maybe.” Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “We’re taking that literally. The simulation will teach you to control your emotions in the midst of a frightening situation.” Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z “Because Erudite developed the simulations, we have an . . . understanding with the Dauntless, Beatrice.” Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z In a way, these old role-playing games had been the first virtual-reality simulations, created long before computers were powerful enough to do the job. Ready Player One: A Novel 2011-08-16T00:00:00Z How many Abnegation did she kill, guided by the simulation? Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z If I had to guess, I would say they are mixing simulation serum, but I hesitate to confine Erudite’s work to simulations alone. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z I wonder what she did when she was under the simulation. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “The Dauntless leaders . . . they evaluated my records and removed me from the simulation,” he says. Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z To see if my reaction in reality matches my reaction in the simulation. Divergent 2011-04-25T00:00:00Z “She must be planning another simulation,” I say. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z “Then let me tell you that I will never resort to simulations to get my way. Death would be better.” Allegiant 2013-10-22T00:00:00Z “She thought studying one of the Divergent’s reaction to a real-life version of a simulation would be fascinating,” he says, and he presses, me forward so I have to walk. Insurgent 2012-05-01T00:00:00Z Even in its first primitive incarnation, the scope of the simulation was staggering. Ready Player One: A Novel 2011-08-16T00:00:00Z I wonder when it happened— after the attack simulation?
