- As humanity transitions its hierarchical systems to their decentralized counterparts, the world is split in two. On the one hand, those clinging to power, believing that a select few must rule over the vulgar majority... On the other, those who believe in the decentralization of power, democracy, and the empowerment of the individual. The Justice system, fighting to protect itself from change, morphs into a vicious oligarchy, willing to do anything to hold onto power. Libertarian cyberpunks birth a decentralized, untraceable cryptographic digital currency, and deliver it to the masses.. at last a glimmer of hope. A peaceful resistance is born, challenging the status quo by merely doing business in new and innovative ways that take power from the state and decentralize it. The state reacts with force, imprisoning and subverting dissidents, branding them "domestic terrorists" . A darker side of the revolution emerges. A decentralized, anonymous, website wherein the public can place anonymous bounties, using virtual currency, on whomever they see fit. Heads of state, judges, corrupt bankers, oil tycoons... no one is immune from becoming a target. The question is who is on the list? and who is gunning for their bounty?
