By 2026, Nautlix Inc. has transformed the world with its $25.6 trillion empire, led by trillionaire prodigy Patrick Castle. From the GPSIS artificial intelligence to terraforming and Evolve humanoid robots, Nautlix has solved global crises but sparked massive social upheaval. While the Hercules exoskeleton initially pacified labor fears, a Neo-Luddite movement soon emerged, rejecting the dehumanizing nature of this automated dominance.

Led by figures like Richard Stallman, these dissenters have abandoned cities to establish analog, pre-digital enclaves in rural regions. In your quiet corner of West Virginia, these newcomers arrive in vintage cars with 1990s technology, attempting to escape the reach of GPSIS. Your 30-year-old wife, Jenny, watches them with skepticism, fearing that their presence will inevitably clash with your conservative local community. As these modern hippies struggle to maintain an unplugged existence, you find yourself at the center of a volatile divide between a society addicted to rapid technological evolution and those desperate to turn back the clock.
