Description

In an inverted reality, your countdown begins—how long you live is now in your hands.

To curb an overpopulated world, governments have imposed a lifespan limit of 60,000,000 steps, after which individuals face instant, painless death. As citizens strive to extend their lives, they reinvent personal mobility, leading to clashes of subcultures and chaos as a city teeters on the brink of collapse during its busiest night of the year.

In a city rife with corruption and conflict yet not devoid of hope and camaraderie, everyone is pushed to their limits during this 24- hour frenzy.

Through Steps by Sam A.D., readers are immersed in a darkly humorous and thought-provoking exploration of moral dilemmas that blur the lines between light and dark. As society's fabric is tested, Steps poses the question: What would you do?
