  • Wheels of Rebellion

    I remember the day when the first SU7 rolled into our town, its sleek lines gleaming under the harsh sun. It was more than a car; it was a symbol of the new world, a world where technology was king and we were its subjects. Little did I know then, how much this ‘smartphone on…

  • Riders of the Fallen Wheel

    I can still hear the whirring of the electric scooters as they zoomed past, their riders oblivious to the world around them. The world as we knew it was changing, and I could feel it in my bones. Superpedestrian was no more, and with it, the future of the e-scooter industry was uncertain. I knew…

  • The Pledge of Shadows

    I remember the year 2020, the year when the world was ablaze with protests and cries for justice. I was just a young intern then, fresh out of college, working for one of those big tech companies that made grand promises about diversity. Now, three years later, I find myself in the heart of the…

  • The Crypto Rebellion

    I was never a lawbreaker. Not until they made it illegal. There I was, staring at my laptop screen, the ominous message glaring back at me – ‘Access to Binance blocked.’ My heart pounded in my chest, a mix of fear and rebellion stirring within me. The government had declared war on us, the crypto…

  • The AI Uprising

    I was just a cog in the machine, a small-time investor in a world dominated by AI trading. The year 2024 was supposed to be my big break, the year when the exit market would reopen and I’d finally make my fortune. But the predictions from the top VCs, the ones that were supposed to…

  • The Techno-Tyrants

    I stand in the heart of the Consumer Electronics Show, surrounded by a sea of glittering gadgets and gizmos. The year is 2024, the first week of it to be precise, and I am here, a cog in the massive wheel of tech innovation. The air is thick with anticipation, each breath I take tastes…

  • The Language of Control

    I was always good with words, but they were never my own. Not since Giga ML took over, not since the large language models (LLMs) became our only way of communication. The AI was supposed to help, to make things easier. But it didn’t. It made us slaves to a system we didn’t understand, a…

  • TechNoir

    I remember the first time I saw it, a small device no bigger than my palm, gleaming under the harsh fluorescent lights of the city. It was a Bluetooth tracker, one of the many tech gifts under $50 that flooded the market in 2023. Little did I know then, that this seemingly harmless gadget would…

  • The Last Prefab

    The world as I knew it was crumbling, and the cause was not an alien invasion or a natural disaster. It was a business failure, the collapse of Veev, a company that once held the promise of a utopian future. The prefab homes they built, once a symbol of progress and convenience, now stood as…

  • The Singularity’s Edge

    I remember the day when the world first heard about OpenAI’s invention. It was supposed to be a breakthrough, a leap forward for mankind. But as I sit here in the remnants of what was once a bustling city, I can’t help but wish we had never unlocked that Pandora’s box. The air is thick…
