As for the story, your lawyers successfully appeal your case years after Google closed up and left. Barely sane, you got released, and decide to find a way to escape the oppressive rule of the technocrats. With the help of a library book, "Homemade Watercraft for Dummies", you build a raft, and set sail for who knows where.
You wake up one morning to find yourself washed up on a deserted island. It's not yours, you don't know who owns it, or where you are, but no one has set up security cameras yet.

You start meditating, find peace, and creep closer to sanity.
One day, a bottle washes up on the beach. You pick it up to find a message inside. After pulling it out, you begin reading: "We've updated our privacy policy, in accordance with the new EU policy directive..."
