Full Description

Freddie Holman was born in the golden era of 1986, but he dreams of travel. To another place and time.
And he can, if only he could get a promotion. But to get ahead at work he needs augmentation. Everyone who’s anyone gets augmented; it’s the ultimate luxury. NuReal is the only healthcare company that can help him, but they are more interested in why their prototype synthetic human being is struggling to achieve consciousness.
Initially set in a distant future United States where we have successfully counteracted climate change. ‘Production Security’ reenact cities throughout history with surveillance so focussed on a good performance it is hilarious. Escape isn’t part of the Script. You must conform to your era’s narrative.
The cities are bordered by high walls, and enclosed by the toxic Recycling Belt; where the unsung heroes work. To ensure city life carries on.
