Synopsis:
In Neo Hong Kong, 2097, the line between human and machine has blurred. Technological advancements have yielded a society populated by individuals augmented with cybernetics and reliant on sophisticated bio-software operating systems. However, this technological integration has created unforeseen vulnerabilities. A novel class of digital virus now threatens to overwhelm these systems, turning enhanced beings into unwitting puppets. The narrative centers around those navigating this increasingly precarious world – individuals grappling with the ethical implications of their augmentations and fighting to maintain autonomy in a landscape where digital control is paramount. The series explores themes of identity, dependence on technology, and the struggle for free will within a rapidly evolving, interconnected society. It offers a contemplative look at the potential consequences of unchecked technological progress.
