Episode 1: The Silicon Edge and the Prophet-Node

In the crumbling concrete of the Detroit Node, a neurodivergent glitch named Eli processes the world through a cascading stream of Metadata. When his raw computing power shatters the academic firewalls, he is catapulted into the highest echelon of the Silicon Sector. But as he begins optimizing algorithms for Omni-Data Corp, Eli receives a terrifying vision of the First-Order architecture—and realizes the world is being optimized for absolute isolation. With the help of an advanced AI named Sophia, he sets out to rewrite the internet by building a Second-Order network called Agape-Net.
