In this Dystopian Thriller, the world was changed with the invention of a biometric chip. The Chip being invented by VitaCorp Integral Technologies, a heavily connected tech company with ties to many politicians and oligarchical families. Once forced upon society, the Chip allowed a small number of people to control how most civilians live their lives through a Social Credit System tied to who they associate with, what they eat, what they watch, through the Chip's data collection. But some in society do not bend to the will of the Government, VitaCorp, or the numerous entities and institutions they control. These people are referred to as "Scabbers", as they are often covered with scars from removing their Chips. Many Scabbers try to live a free a life as possible, but once arrested for even the most minor of infractions they are Rechipped. And if they are not already assigned one, they will be tied to an Agent of The Bureau of Safety and Prevention. These Agents are part Guidance Counselor, part Parole Officer.
This all occured because people always said it could never happen here. But it already did.
If you came here from my social media posts, the broader story of Nazis secretly taking over the US is alluded to in my free short stories. My series isn't finished and I always had a larger story to tell, unfortunately Systemic Mastocytosis has severely slowed me down. But there are 7 free short stories that fill in blanks. I wanted people to read my series and figure things out on their own. But given how life keeps imitating my art and my work is likely to be banned in the future, I began giving away certain plot points.
