Abstract
This paper presents a sugarcoated dystopian holonovel situated in a distant future, where the holodeck has become the main learning and entertainment technology through which people upload personal knowledge and experiences to be used as an immaterial currency. A young woman, Madeleine, is a fierce and competitive baker. She aspires to win the 104th biennial of “The World Championship of Cake Design.” The virtual avatars in her baking program guide her in her quest, but in order to win, she needs to make a truly original cake. To get proper help, she needs to get the best advice from a superior hologram-baker. It is more expensive than what she can afford paying with knowledge, so she ends up paying with a personal experience—and afterward she has to deal with the consequences of sharing that experience with the rest of the world.
