Which narrative will you choose?

When Terry is promoted to VP of Engineering, he decides to quit rather than partake in his company's capitalistic data mining practices to boost ad revenues. Determined to create a more ethical platform, he poaches his colleagues to build his own social media startup on the blockchain, promising user privacy and an ad-free experience.

Two years later, his blockchain is yet to launch, and Terry’s about to miss payroll for his team. He sunk all his savings and maxed out his credit lines. Desperate to save his startup, he flies to Hong Kong to meet the only investor who throws him a lifeline. Little does he know that the too-good-to-be-true investor works for the Chinese government with a hidden agenda.

Set in eclectic Hong Kong, right on the political fault line between East and West, Blockchained is a near-future sci-fi thriller that chronicles a struggling startup founder who needs to confront not just his own ambitions, but also the very nature of ambition itself.
