Silent electric cars run through cities. People listen to everything in earbuds integrated into their eardrums, and from the outside you can no longer perceive anything. They express their reactions with emoticons, clicking on real or virtual keyboards. Words are no longer useful, they are boring, long to listen to and understand. Just a like because the world does not ask for more. the news arrives directly in our ear, and with a button we give confirmation, approval or disapproval. a click is what you barely hear in this deafening silence.
