"CREATIVITY IS CHAOS. WE ARE THE ORDER THAT MONETIZES IT." While The Network bleeds to build a sanctuary in the mud, The Mainframe watches from the clouds. They are not monsters under the bed; they are the people who sign the checks. This anthology unlocks the classified files of The 8 Overseers—the Architects of Control who rule the American Wasteland. Witness KINVOID weaponize apathy in New Oreless, SYPHUS drain the potential of the youth in Traplanta, and ECHRON judge the value of a human soul in New Metric. They do not hate the music. They simply cannot hear it over the sound of the algorithm. The System is perfect. You are the error.
