In a dystopian future, humanity is no longer measured by potential but by profitability. Every person is a commodity, their worth dictated by a Stock Value Index (SVI)—a number derived from genetic profiling, productivity assessments, and behavioral analytics. The Human Stock Market determines everything: careers, relationships, even who is allowed to exist.
A powerful Board of Directors governs this system, ensuring that each individual maximizes their returns for society’s elite investors. The wealthy high-value stocks enjoy unlimited freedom, while the low-value underclass is strictly managed to prevent waste.
But a radical activist group, The Nullifiers, sees this for what it truly is—enslavement.
In a final, desperate act, they launch an unprecedented cyberattack, permanently severing 90% of the population from the market. The system collapses overnight. No numbers. No control. No order.
What was once a meticulously structured society crumbles into chaos. Without the centralized infrastructure that governed every aspect of life, cities decay, economies collapse, and people turn on one another.
Now, in a world where survival replaces status, former elites and outcasts alike must learn to navigate a brutal new existence—one where humanity itself is the only currency left.
