A decade ago in World 145, a virus had hacked all systems and forced the entire population to adapt to new means and the platform shown here, Label Unknown. People are only able to post pictures with digital clothing, either bought and rented from brands or self-constructed, they are also able to sell second-hand clothing and build a sense of community through sharing. This not only discourages unnecessary buying but is also a way of allowing everyone to be more expressive regardless of social class.

Does this World remind you of something?
I am keen to hear about any historical or contemporary real-world examples – whether individual practices, subcultures or mainstream activities – that this fiction brings to mind.
Please share any such examples using this form. Thank you!
