The future is an endless series of wires across the whole world. Except for you. You'll use these wire-free lights.

The year is 2222. They call it "The Year Of Twos." No one knows why because Math has been forgotten. The world is a nightmare of loose power cords as everyone tries to keep a charge going in  their phones, watches, headsets, lamps, smart shoes and digital hats. And then, there's you. A much-loved, well-respected, world-famous hero. Why? Because you've got Solar Power Garden Accent Lights in your garden. And that means you don't need a power cord running across your lawn. And that means you're the only person left with visible grass.

Oh, sure, sometimes the tourists park at the end of your driveway and try to photograph the plants, and you occasionally have to deal with wandering pollination gangs, but for the most part you can just lean back and enjoy how empty of wires your lawn happens to be. And in a bleak cyberpunk future, that's the greatest treasure.

Even more revered than a phone battery that lasts as long as it promises. Don't worry, we're not going to talk about that. This is hard sci-fi, not fantasy.
