“Before you’re fully immersed I must remind you that your Netflix Service is at risk of interruption if you don’t make a payment today. If you have already paid to renew, this notification may be ignored. Your inbox also contains bills for water, air, electricity, health maintenance and rent on the space your body will occupy if you remain in Warehouse 23CX459 for another month.”
