A couple of centuries after the last great wars, people began to spin. This may sound strange at first, but it was in fact a mind- and body-altering custom that changed the way that human beings related to each other and the world. Basically, people got frustrated with only seeing 180 degrees (if that), so they began to spin, all the time. At first it was a subculture, which some accused of cult-like status, but since it just looked like so much fun, everyone tried it. Soon it became a worldwide phenomenon, due to the health and perceptual effects (exercise and 360 degreeness, respectively). While walking, sitting in specially designed chairs, and even in the latest automobile, spinning became the latest technology and fashion. After the initial wave, there was a backlash, but because of the heightened awareness of the spinners, the non-spinners were overwhelmed logistically and militarily.
