In a world where new technologies rise and fall by the hour, humanity is still plagued by the inertia of its most fundamental institution – money. A messiah is born out of the zeitgeist and evangelizes an answer – cryptocurrencies. This is vehemently persecuted by the status quo and their blind zealots. SOVEREIGN, however, is one crypto rising above the smoke and noise and promises to lead the enlightened into a brave new world. But the incumbent power mongers refuse to go gentle into the night.
Alexander Hamish, a bereft agent from FRONTIER – a covert, distributed network of spies operating at the intersection of technology, spy craft, and international interest – is tasked with SOVEREIGN’s destruction before its insidious promise of Utopian liberation becomes manifesto. Prejudiced, Hamish, better known in his world as Agent 27, embarks on the mission with a monomaniacal focus.
27 stumbles through a maze of double-edged technologies. With every step, his understanding of cryptocurrencies deepens while his grasp on society crumbles. He begins to question the very construct of the world around him – are governments a requisite for civilization, or is Man responsible for his awakening? And just when the labyrinth’s exit is in sight, he confronts the daunting choice between saving the world and saving humanity’s one chance at salvation.
