Can one rebel bring down a group of billionaires (“The 31”) who control society’s mind?
After a billionaire-orchestrated Freeze Act pushes the United States into authoritarianism, all citizens are forced to take a biofeedback test that classifies them by personality type. Those judged as lacking the skills to be productive members of society — or those unwilling to fall in line with their oppressors - are classified as Deviators or Instigators.
Cal Shook, an ex-venture capitalist with links to cutting-edge neurotech development, sees his life fall apart after he’s labeled a Deviator. He loses everything. Career. Freedom. Hope. Until he discovers the X-2 headset, a revolutionary technology that allows him to tap into the universe's hidden intelligence.
With the help of others who have also lost everything after the Freeze Act, Cal hatches a dangerous plan to use the X-2 to overthrow the oppressive system they live in. However, as he delves deeper into the secret world of universal intelligence and capitalistic control, he realizes the stakes are higher than he ever could have imagined.
And now, "The 31" want him dead.
A mind-bending sci-fi adventure that shows a dystopian vision of a future inherently different and yet terrifyingly close to our own.
The Matrix meets 1984.
