  • Isolated in Unity

    My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at the screen of my phone. The app, ‘Unity’ they called it, had just paired me with a stranger. The idea was to combat loneliness in our dystopian world, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling of dread. The world outside had become a dangerous place,…

  • The Robotic Rebellion

    I’m standing in the heart of the city, surrounded by towering steel behemoths. They’re not human, not even close, but they’re alive in their own mechanical way. They’re called ‘Collaborative Robots’, CoBots for short. They were built to solve our problems, to make our lives easier. But as I watch them move with an eerie…

  • The Unseen Threat

    In the year 2056, the world was ruled by data. Every whisper, every thought, every secret, captured and stored in the vast digital universe. As I sat in the dimly lit room, staring at the flickering screen, I could feel the weight of the world’s information at my fingertips. The power was intoxicating, but the…

  • The Vision Pro Dystopia

    I remember the first time I put on the Vision Pro. The world around me transformed, morphed into something unrecognizable. I was no longer in my small, cramped apartment; instead, I was in a vast, open field, with a clear blue sky overhead. I could almost feel the wind on my face, the grass beneath…

  • The Electric Mirage

    I remember the day I met Steve Burns, the day that would forever change the course of my life. He was charismatic, confident, the kind of man who made you believe in his dreams, no matter how grandiose. He spoke of a future where fossil fuels were obsolete, where every vehicle on the road was…

  • The Unreviewable

    I woke up to a world ruled by algorithms, a world where every thought, every decision, every action is dictated by AI. They said it was for our own good, that it made life easier, but all I saw was a world losing its freedom, its humanity. I was just a cog in the grand…

  • The Thirst Wars

    Fire. That’s the last thing I remember seeing before everything turned black. The red-orange flames dancing, consuming our old world, our old ways. The fire of innovation, of revolution. And at the center of it all, a can of Liquid Death, gleaming ominously under the harsh, artificial lights. I woke up in a daze, my…

  • Orbital Oblivion

    I knew the moment the payment from Rivada Space Networks came through that something was off. It was too easy. Too clean. In the world of Terran Orbital, nothing ever came without strings attached – and those strings often led to a noose. I could feel the cold dread creeping up my spine, the same…

  • Code of Resistance

    I never thought I’d end up here. In a world where the lines of code I write could determine life or death. The war between Israel and Hamas has seeped into the tech industry, causing a divide that seems impossible to bridge. But here I am, part of ‘Tech for Palestine’, using my skills not…

  • Digital Dominion

    In the year 2030, I remember when Samsung’s Galaxy S24 was unveiled. It was January 17th, a day etched into my memory forever. I was just a repair tech then, oblivious to the storm that was about to hit us. Little did I know, the world was about to change, and not for the better.…
