Experiencing Interruptions?

IONE

The global conflict caused a breakdown in the functioning of life on Earth. The situation became so threatening to the planet that it led to a mutual agreement for a temporary peace. Individual societies transitioned into an emergency regime controlled by the military. Money was replaced by a currency in the form of electrical energy called WAC – Watt Credit. The carrier of credits and personal information became an electronic chip. Each system participant receives a monthly energy allocation for their work. Those unable to work are removed from the system, and earning opportunities are limited. Offline life has become a luxury. Social life has moved to the online world, where people found a space to fulfill their needs, creating opportunities for additional income at the same time.
