The Continuum Glitch

Synopsis

In a world dictated by The Continuum, humanity's every breath, bite, and heartbeat is a transaction. A mega-conglomerate has perfected the art of survival as a service, embedding bio-ledgers into every citizen to meticulously track and monetize the cost of staying alive. Oxygen, calories, shelter, and healthcare are no longer rights but debits, deducted in real-time, pushing the population into an inescapable cycle of debt slavery. But beneath the veneer of algorithmic efficiency, a dangerous secret festers. When a disillusioned government auditor stumbles upon a critical glitch in the system, they uncover a horrifying truth: the 'essential expenses' siphoned from ordinary citizens are secretly funding an extravagant off-world ark, a lavish escape for the corporate elite. As the auditor navigates a treacherous landscape of surveillance and corporate espionage, they must decide whether to expose the truth and risk everything, or let the system grind on, condemning billions to a life of perpetual servitude.
