The primitive people that we follow discover they have multiple problems. On gaining a foothold on the orbitals, their gains began to be reversed by the Thought Police who could manipulate emotions. No one knew who was on whose side. All communications by corporate leaders based on the moon, were carried out in virtual reality. The purpose of this was to cut time and travel between the stations. The virtual reality was originally constructed because life in space was depressing. They could walk on a green Earth and feel the wind in virtual. This was so popular that all, important conferences were carried out in virtual and a whole world created. Before total control was gained, our hero had to enter the virtual world and defeat the corporate leaders. This was a new and strange world where anything was possible.
