Mark has everything a man could want. As an up and coming Party member in the Golden Republic he has money, prestige, a beautiful woman, and his youth. Somehow, it doesn't seem like enough. Unbeknownst to Mark, his life is about to change in a way he could never expect.."2020 proved to be the year in recent human history wherein futuristic tales of oppressive post-liberal dystopias turned out to be morally relevant again. Basic liberties such as attending our jobs or leaving our homes can, after all, be removed in the blink of an eye.
