by Derwin Gerald Lester II

A century ago, the people of earth downloaded their minds and souls into the infinite conceptual space of internet. Their bodies remained in the real world, kept alive in stasis tanks. A few hundred people known as Janitors chose to stay in the real world.Their only job is to monitor the stasis tanks as they spend eternity in cloned bodies. But one day the internet goes dark, and the Janitors must find a way to save the world before they are out of a job.
