2147. Humanity slumbers. For most of each day, the world is shrouded in the Grey, a state of enforced dormancy mandated by the Regulator, a global network of neural dampeners. Energy is scarce, they say. Survival demands sacrifice. But what if the sacrifice is more than just energy?
Ava Lancaster, a Consciousness Monitoring Agent, lives a life of meticulous routine, until unsettling anomalies begin to surface. Fleeting sensations, vibrant colors, echoes of forgotten melodies – glimpses of a world beyond the Grey – spark a dangerous curiosity. A routine data analysis reveals an anomaly: Cristian Henderson, a subject whose mind thrives in the Grey. His secret? He’s awake.
Drawn to Cristian and others like him – a philosopher grappling with existential questions, an artist channeling unseen dimensions, and a programmer haunted by cryptic code – Ava discovers a hidden reality, vibrant and interconnected, accessible only during the enforced slumber. The energy crisis, the rationing of consciousness, the Grey itself… it’s all a lie. A meticulously crafted illusion designed to suppress humanity’s true potential.
Now, Ava must choose. Conform to the regulated world or fight for a reality she barely understands. Joining forces with Cristian, they navigate a treacherous landscape of deception and control, pursued by the ruthless Director Charles Black, a man convinced the hidden reality is too dangerous for humanity to handle. But is Black a villain or a misguided protector? And can Ava and her allies awaken the world to a truth it may not be ready to face?
The Reality Rationing isn’t just about survival. It’s about control. It’s about the fight for consciousness itself. And the battle has just begun.
