The year is 2035 and the AI have run rampant for years. Anything that touches the Net unguarded is swarmed with content. Only one thing stops the bots.

Status 402.

The only “real” content on the internet is gated behind a zap paywall, since the bots cannot replicate the orange coin. Some were able to escape, others were zombified with endless dopamine from AI content of all kinds, plugged into their soylent feeding tube they waste away, but provide valuable harvest material for the oligarchs still ruling pockets of the world.

Those that found true scarcity, survived and thrive. Building continuously for a better future.
