The future waits for no one.In this new world, speed and efficiency are everything, and the populace zooms along in a perpetually stimulated haze. Angela thinks she's the only person in her family—maybe the only person on the planet—who sees anything wrong with this picture. But the truth is she's not alone.Angela finds herself recruited into a resistance movement where the key to rebellion is taking things slow. In their secret underground hideout, they create a life unplugged from the rapid-fire culture outside. Can they free the rest of the world before the powers that be shut down their utopian experiment?

"The concept is there, and let me tell you it's a little scary. Scary in a honest and raw way, like you could actually see something like this happening in the world. It's gay. And the lack of colors really give more feeling and connection. The only thing I don't like as much is the character improvement. The main character is really cool but other than her there's no character improvement, because everyone else dies"
