Synopsis "The Global Love Reboot: An Inconvenient Side Effect (in English)"
In this 20+ century, mankind finds itself in a society rigorously structured, and ruthlessly enslaved by a handful of Choosers and an elite of Chosen. The overwhelming majority is trapped into a diabolic seven days per week work regimen at The Factories of different Areas, where they all believe they are working as Subjects for new software testing. Management provides what's necessary for a comfortable life: simple housing, cheap entertainment, and even cheaper, unhealthy food. Fifty-six yearly vaccines and numerous miraculous pills are heavily promoted. Independent thinking is vigorously oppressed and any kind of dreaming is considered against the law. Yet people are all blissfully happy with their daily meals and weekly games, and they don't even notice how drained of energy they literally are. When Cor is accidentally late for his meal, he experiences awakening. He realizes with Ela's help that he is not alone, and all the numbing and dumbing chemicals that blind them into a total, "happy" obedience and dreamless nights, are in their food. He sees with horror how they are all used as livestock providers of human energy - scientifically proven to be the purest form of energy. Even more shocking, he finds out that apparently without a reason he committed, to everybody's disbelief, self-"dumbification". Before that, he was a well-known scientist, developing a method that would exponentially increase the energy extracted from humans, at great damaging consequences for them... However the person who would own his method will immediately become the most powerful human in the known Universe. Cor also realizes that using - with a little twist - the same method in the Oneiric Dimension - realm available in a paradoxical way for the awakened ones only, he can amplify ad-infinitum a forgotten, beautiful energy. Then, directing its colossal power towards the diabolic System, he could "corrupt" the civilization to its core, awakening the entire mankind from the dreamless sleep. Which path will he choose? Will he sacrifice his newly acquired social power, his steamy relationship with the beautiful and seductive Dalila, for an ungrateful self-exile beyond the Grey Line, into the uncivilized, rather unkept world? The author moves through the dream world with unbelievable ease! He changes from the astral plan, to the real plan, describes memories from one life, or several lives back in vivid colors and shapes. As if you are watching a great movie, that wouldn't let you blink.
