Don't get me wrong, the idea is matrix like. Something totally new and interesting at first. But, what I have a problem with story wise is that no matter what direction humanity takes, this is unbelievable. OK, crime is legal for half a day (stealing or whatever), but murder? And not just revenge killing, no, murder for fun.
Humanity moves the other way. Look at animal torture. 200 years ago it was like who cares, nowadays it is rightfully so frowned upon. Humanity did that. So to then change within a short timeframe this all just went overboard and people behave like under meth is just too far out. Destroyed the story for me.
No spoilers but you will see what I mean... Still great idea, just needs to be closer to realistic...
