Editing Mesh (section)

== Transhuman Infomorphs ==
For thousands of infugees, embodying a digital form is their only choice. Some of these are locked away in mesh-separated virtual holding areas or even inactive storage, locked up by habitats who didn’t have enough resources to handle them. Others are imprisoned inside simulspaces, killing time in whatever way they choose until an opportunity to resleeve comes their way. Quite a few are free to roam the mesh, interacting with physically-sleeved transhumans, keeping up with current events, and sometimes even forming activist political blocs to campaign for infomorph rights or interests. Still others find or are forced into virtual careers, slaving away in the digital sweatshops of hypercorps or criminal syndicates. A few find companions who are willing to bring them along in their ghostrider module and become an integral part of their lives, much like a muse.
Some transhumans willingly choose the infomorph lifestyle, either for hedonism (custom simulspace and VR games until the end of time), escapism (loss of a loved ones leads them to write off physical concerns for awhile), freedom (go anywhere the mesh takes you—some have even beamed copies of themselves to far distant solar systems, hoping someone or something will receive their signal when they arrive), experimentation (forking and merging, running simulations, and weirder things), or because it is ensured immortality.
