The simulation is much like what we experience when we get to know someone. We extrapolate a future in our mind.

The privacy concerns, the dangers of addiction, getting lost in what might have been.

This is a short, but clear, examination of obsession. I like the way the story is framed by the near future speculative element, but it stands on its own as a character study.
