The system decides who works, who waits, and who isn't needed anymore.
Johnny knows the drill-show up, move boxes, take orders from the AI, and try not to think about how pointless it all feels. The warehouse hums with routine, the shifts blur together, and the only thing keeping him sane is Beth, his sharp-tongued, beer-drinking shift supervisor who seems just as stuck as he is.
Then, one day, half the crew is gone. No warnings. No severance. Just a corporate announcement about AI optimization. The section they worked in? Completely shut down overnight. And when Johnny asks questions, no one can seem to remember who worked there in the first place.
Maybe it's just corporate restructuring. Maybe it's just another sign that everything is crumbling a little faster than usual.
Or maybe, it was never about efficiency at all.
As the lights flicker in cities across the country, as food supplies run thinner, and as Safe Zones are set up with no clear explanation, Johnny starts seeing the cracks in the system-small at first, then undeniable. The people in charge? They aren't stepping in to fix things. They're stepping away.
Because the world isn't collapsing. It's being left behind.
A gripping slow-burn dystopian thriller about those who weren't chosen. Perfect for fans of high-concept thrillers, near-future collapse fiction, and anyone who's ever questioned who gets to write history.
