Optimus

Anti-Utopia / Alt History / SatirePsychological

Imagine a world engineered for total efficiency, a world that has "cured" the messy inconvenience of sleep. Here, humanity no longer dreams. Instead, each night, people are placed into pods where their brains perform computational tasks, fueling a society obsessed with productivity. The cost of this perfection is a slow, creeping decay of the soul into apathy and memory loss.

In the sterile, silent mega-city of cold iron and glass, a rebellion is stirring. A reclusive teacher is showing people the forbidden art of dreaming, unlocking the vast, forgotten landscapes of the subconscious.

This is a world where reality itself begins to fray. The internal world imposes itself on the external. The psychic pressure of a powerful dream can physically warp the rigid environment—a nightmare of falling manifests as a wave of vertigo in a crowd, while a dream of sorrow can cause a black frost to form on nearby steel.

The battle for humanity is fought not with weapons, but behind closed eyes. It is a cold war where the raw, messy force of emotion literally breaks the perfect machine, and the sound of a single human breath can unravel a world of automated silence.
