Media use bee-like paparazzi cameras, one character works at a consumer research firm that uses virtual reality Matrix-style plugging into people’s heads to survey their opinions on products; this character is younger (or small), maybe named Tag? Trig? Trip? He lives in a group-home type of situation where everyone pitches in some money/currency into a box in the house (like a coin box). Some random guy on the roof in a garden shed who has special powers, can’t touch or be touched, something like that. I think the book has a key event at a ball game or stadium involving the guy from the roof? Book may or may not also have nano-viruses in the world where cities are shielded from particular nano-viruses (I might be mixing this up with something else)
In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.
