TAP (novelette)
"TAP" is a 1995 science fiction novelette by Australian writer Greg Egan. It is set in a near-future society in which brain implants allow immersive virtual reality. The implants also allow a new kind of language called TAP, Total Affective Protocol. TAP is essentially a way of making qualia into words.
TAP words can be read like English, or invoked to be experienced, like virtual reality.
Reception[edit]
"TAP" was a finalist for the 1996 Hugo Award for Best Novelette.[1]
