  • The Repair Rebellion

    I remember the day the law passed. The day they decided that we, the common people, had the right to repair our own devices. It was a victory, they said. A triumph for the little guy. But they didn’t see the storm that was brewing. They didn’t see the chaos that would ensue. I did.…

  • The Power Surge

    The world was a different place now, a world powered by unseen forces – electricity, hydrogen, and greed. The day Nikola won the arbitration against Trevor Milton, I knew something was off. The $165 million wasn’t just a reimbursement; it was a death sentence. I could feel the weight of the world shifting, but I…

  • The Autonomous Rebellion

    Every morning, as I walk through the bustling streets of Los Angeles, I watch the sleek, driverless cars glide past me. They’re like ghosts, silent and eerily perfect. People say they’re the future, but all I see when I look at them is a cold, unfeeling machine. I never thought I’d miss the sound of…

  • Lunar Shadows

    I woke up to the news of Qosmosys’s $100 million seed round, and my heart pounded in my chest like a drum. The screen of my outdated computer flickered with the headline, casting an eerie glow in my tiny, cluttered apartment. I knew what this meant. They were going to the moon, and they were…

  • The Battery Reclaimers

    I wake up to the sound of the alarm, the same monotonous beep that has been my morning call for the last six years. I sigh, rolling out of bed and into my work uniform. The familiar blue jumpsuit, speckled with acid burns and grease marks. On my chest, the emblem of Circu Li-ion, the…

  • The Last Game Master

    I was once a game master in LuoBu, or as the world knew it, Roblox China. Every keystroke, every pixel, every virtual world was my playground. But now, as I walk down the deserted, digital corridors, I see nothing but a ghost town. The once vibrant landscapes are now barren, the laughter and excitement of…

  • The Ledger of Shadows

    I stare at the resignation letter in my hand, the black ink of Ajay Goel’s name a stark contrast against the white paper. The world of Byju’s, my world, is crumbling around me. The numbers don’t add up, the audits are delayed, and now this. I’m alone in this fight, and I can’t help but…

  • Dusk to Husk: The Power Struggle

    In the year 2073, the world as we knew it was a distant memory, a tale told by the elders around the flickering, dim firelight. The sun had become an elusive entity, hidden behind the thick layer of smog that had taken permanent residence in our skies. The day Husk Power Systems rose to prominence,…

  • The Deception Protocol

    The news of Dash’s closure hit me like a punch in the gut. It wasn’t just another tech startup falling apart, it was the company I had invested my life savings into. The word ‘fraud’ echoed in my head, each repetition a sharp stab of betrayal. I had trusted them, believed in their vision, and…

  • Frames of Deception

    I stare at my phone, my fingers trembling as they hover over the app icon. D-ID, it reads, the logo a simple camera lens. It’s just an app, I remind myself, just a harmless piece of technology. But I can’t shake the feeling of dread that pools in my gut. I’ve seen what it can…
