It’s a world in which, simply by scanning the brain, it’s possible to create an exact copy of the image a person sees.

People just look around, and then offload the things they saw from their brain to the computer.

The computer shows what the person remembered, with the subjective thoughts and memory modifying the image.

Because of this, photographers who use film are in demand. People always wonder if a digital image is really the image that the camera caught, or just another subjective memory.

At parties, people look at the same thing and then compare their respective brain scans. Then they all gather in the darkroom, where the artist develops the objective image they took with an old camera and film.

And even there, though, there is subjectivity: focus, filters, shutter speed, and f-stop.

I wouldn't scan my brain to create an image. I’d just want two sides of a sheet of paper and a pen.
