Just in case people forgot, shock levels are not relative to someone's
experience with future tech. To quote

"A Shock Level measures the high-tech concepts you can contemplate
without being impressed, frightened, blindly enthusiastic - without
exhibiting future shock."
I think this story is cool, but I don't think it is more than SL2.
