Description
In a city ravaged by corporate greed, hidden truths lurk in the shadows, but a fateful encounter threatens to unravel the very fabric of reality.
Welcome to Atlas.
The once-thriving city is a shell of its former self, laid waste by Sahara, the world’s largest (and only) megacorporation. Shimmering skyscrapers cast shadows over vast stretches of corporate slums and crumbling pavement.
Here, Malcolm McCormick, a twenty-year-old daydreamer, works a dead-end job at a marble factory. Employees are closely surveilled with state-of-the-art technology, including AI-powered collars that punish those who fall out of line.
For Malcolm, every day is the same monotonous slog . . .
Until he happens upon Evie, a savvy coworker who is struggling to keep her family off the streets.
Unbeknownst to them, this seemingly ordinary encounter rips a hole in the veil between realities. Strange things follow: electrical aberrations, out-of-body experiences, messages from the deceased. Stranger still, these events point to a dark secret hidden beneath the factory, one that could expose Sahara’s seedy underbelly.
As they peel back the layers, Malcolm and Evie find themselves plotting to overthrow their corporate overlords. But as tensions escalate, so do the supernatural phenomena. Following clues from a dead coworker’s journal, they plunge into the unknown depths.
It’s only when they reach the bottom that they realize there’s no turning back.
