It All Begins From A Sketch

I chose the present because this is not just a story about the future, nor is it a myth of the past. This is a cycle unfolding before us, and you—you are already in it.

Why Choose the Present as the Timeline for My Creation?

When deciding on the timeline for this story, I could have chosen the past—depicting a mysterious and ancient civilization—or the future, constructing a cyberpunk dystopia. But ultimately, I chose to keep the story in the present—a time we exist in yet often fail to truly see.

1. Reality is Stranger Than Fiction

If I had set this story in the future, people would dismiss it as mere science fiction. If I had placed it in the past, it would be perceived as mythology. But by setting it in the present, the story becomes a mirror—reflecting the world we are experiencing right now.

Technology is evolving at an unprecedented rate. Capital dictates the rules. Individual freedom is constrained by invisible chains. Society is being reshaped by consumerism, information manipulation, and virtual escapism. We are already living in a cyberpunk world.

2. History Never Stops Repeating Itself

History is not linear—it is a wheel that keeps turning. The rise and fall of empires, economic crashes, and societal unrest—these events from the past bear an uncanny resemblance to today's technological monopolies, wealth disparity, and corporate dominance over individuals. Greed, desire, control, deception—mistakes that humanity has made for centuries continue to play out today.

Choosing the present as the timeline is a reminder: History is not behind us—it is happening right now.

3. The Double-Edged Sword of Technology: Enslavement and Salvation

We live in a digital age—NFTs, AI, blockchain, and virtual realities are shaping our world. But alongside this technological revolution, a silent form of digital enslavement is creeping in—
Social media manipulates emotions. Algorithms dictate what we see and believe. Short-form content replaces critical thinking. Data is now the most valuable commodity, owned not by individuals, but by corporations.

Humanity once believed technology would bring freedom, but in reality, we are being conditioned to obey more efficiently. We think we are advancing, but are we simply becoming more programmable?

I chose to set my story in the present because this crisis is unfolding around us, unnoticed. "Greenlight" (the dream-inducing drug in the story) mirrors today's digital escapism—social media, video games, metaverse, NFTs, AI. It offers fleeting fantasies, temporary relief from reality, but beneath its dreamlike glow, an ancient force stirs—one that may never truly be controlled.

4. Everyone Is in This Story—Everyone Must Choose

I want my audience to see themselves in this story:

  • Do you work tirelessly, yet feel like your destiny is never truly in your hands?

  • Do you crave freedom, yet find yourself adapting to a system that dictates your every move?

  • Do you believe in technology as our salvation, yet fear its growing control over human lives?

By anchoring the story in the present, it stops being a distant fantasy—it becomes deeply personal. You are already part of this cycle. The question is: will you choose to stay asleep, or will you wake up and fight for the real future?
