The Great Discard: The End of Property - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In the very near future, the world discovers that the greatest transportation revolution wasn't inventing self-driving cars, but controlling where they park. In "The Great Discard," a powerful multinational corporation called OmniDrive executes a silent and brutal plan to dominate global mobility. While governments celebrate the promise of cleaner and more efficient cities, the company discreetly buys thousands of parking lots, electric car factories, and lithium mines around the world. When the plan is finally activated, it's too late: the streets become the domain of the company's autonomous pods, vehicles that operate in a perfect 18-hour work and 6-hour recharge cycle, without drivers, breaks, or human error. Within weeks, millions of drivers, delivery workers, and mobility workers become obsolete. Private cars are banned, parking lots refuse human vehicles, and hastily passed laws transform entire cities into exclusive zones for algorithms. What seemed like progress reveals its true price: mass unemployment, total dependence on technology, and a society where the right to move belongs only to those who control the system. At the center of this new order is Marcos, a former rideshare driver whose life crumbles when he receives a simple notification: his account has been deactivated, replaced by a fleet of machines that never tire. Determined not to become just another discarded number, he joins a clandestine group called "Analogs," people who still believe that driving is not just a job—it's freedom. In the shadows of cities dominated by algorithms, they adapt old cars, hack sensors, and create hybrid vehicles capable of escaping digital control. As OmniDrive tightens its grip and transforms parking lots into centers of power and surveillance, resistance silently grows. Amidst corporate conspiracies, technological sabotage, and street battles, "The Great Discard" is an intense technological thriller about power, freedom, and the danger of handing over control of the world to systems that promise absolute efficiency. Because when machines run everything… Who is still at the wheel of humanity's destiny?
