Cyberdiscs. A real thing, for certain loosely defined values of “real”.

pwhodges:
I selected "Stone tablets" as there was no closer option for the shellac 78rpm disks I gained my first experience with...

I had this, for instance.

However, she seems to be broadly aware of this, so this reduces somewhat the degree of risk posed to herself and others. However, yes, she is a person who is always going to be much safer with friends to act as a 'second opinion' of her perceptions and memories.

I beg to differ.  Emily does not suffer from a semi-detached relationship with objective reality. 

In fact, she rather enjoys it.

Yep,
We had an old 78 player and a nice pile of discs too which my parents 'inherited' from my grandparents.
I used to play the hell out of those old discs!
