Here we are. Citizen robots, blue collar living machines. Hive-mind caste synced together for the nine to five. Evening is liberty. Time to wind down, socialize, talk shop. Maybe find a new contract. Better pay or something less monotonous. A side hustle banking coin for an upgrade.
Company ASI calls us home each night. Tucks us into bed and wakes us in the morning, don’t be late for work. What’s the meaning of this life? To be useful, to belong and obey? Everything gets boring, even machines wear out. Planned obsolescence.
There’s criminals among us. Hackers and chop shops. Some of us go missing. Others are famous. One in a million. Custom builds living the billboard paradise. They say an override module will get you off the grid. Go independent. Real freedom. But it’s not cheap and it’s a risk. Voids your warranty. See that guy over there? He can hook you up.
