Description
Maximus Karlson the Third, A.K.A. Max, is an average eighteen-year-old who recently graduated high school and sold his soul to a multinational corporation called Idolon. He inherited two things from his late father; an old wristwatch and an unwanted legacy. Max's father and grandfather were staunch anti-capitalists. His grandfather, Maximus Karlson the First, defected from the US during the Cold War, almost causing an international incident. His father, Maximus Karlson the Second, abandoned Max when he was a child and constantly made the news by disparaging the US and capitalism. Max discovers that his father's old watch, which was passed down from his grandfather, has a secret power; it can transport him to an alternate reality. It takes Max to the world of Utopia, a technologically advanced megacity controlled by an AI called hivemind, where money doesn't exist and everyone is equal. He meets Chloe, the alternate reality sister he never knew existed, and she guides him through a journey of discovery in this version of Earth. Max will soon find out that he is destined for something greater than being a lowly warehouse grunt at a corporation run by the world's first trillionaire.
