She was born at 23:48 in London on June 5, 2031. The only daughter of a wealthy family, her childhood and youth correspond to the “Brexit Generation”, after the United Kingdom broke off from the former European Union. Thanks to the business success of her parents, holding high positions in companies in the City dedicated to the financial and real estate sector, she was able to study in the best centres, although she delayed her entrance to university for three years. Her dedication to tennis led her to compete in Wimbledon twice in a row. She did not pass the quarterfinals in either of the two tournaments and a knee injury forced her to leave the circuit. She entered Cambridge University in 2055 at the age of 24, earning a PhD in Computer Mathematics in 2061.

An article extracted from her doctoral thesis, dedicated to the digital measurement of what she called “ludism” in a scientific magazine in San Diego, drew the attention of Akira Isozaki, who invited her to join his already famous “Harvard Group”. In Boston she collaborated with Roisemberg and above all with Marat Punset, who at that time was already working on the controlled emission of MetaWaves and their future practical applications.

In 2066, at the age of 35, she decided to put research on hold and devote herself exclusively to her new husband, a well-known baseball player. After seven years and two children, she got divorced and returned to academic life in her home country. As a disciple of the geneticist and Nobel Prize winner Konrad Koppelson, she obtained her PhD Cum Laude in Genomic Medicine from Oxford in 2078 and completed a Master’s Degree in Transgenic Food Production at the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2090.

It is after this period that she publishes in 2092 her most influential book: “Fundamentals of Ludometry. The digital measurement of leisure for sustainable eco-happiness”. The treaty evaluates the levels of happiness-leisure possible in the new transcapitalist and hyperdigitalised society and its relation with the new applications of Digital Intelligence with humanoids.

At the age of 63, she returns to Harvard in 2094 to direct the newly created Chair of Ludometry. During her teaching activity she published numerous scientific articles on the influence and control of adrenaline in leisure. She would also collaborate with several groups of Capital-Science in MetaWave applications on human tissue.

Since 2101 she has been leading the LudoMetry section as a member of GlassCity’s Board of Sages.
