The Disappearance of Kytz – “Off the Record”
Echoes in the dark are growing louder, as people start to question what lies behind the curtain of Dev. Is it truly a utopia, or is it the ultimate tool for control? Kytz was once the face of this movement, the artist whose voice gave life to the dream. But now, he’s gone—and with him, the truth about what Dev really is.
What secrets did he uncover? And why did he disappear just when the world needed his voice the most? His music lingers on, but the silence he left behind is deafening.
The World As We Know It – By Kwadwo Bouamah (2078)
In the end, the line between flesh and data, between choice and control, became too thin to see. Tariku told us we would be free. Yet, in this perfect world of endless possibility, freedom tasted like prison. Dev may not be utopia. It feels like a cage, one we walked into willingly, with eyes wide open and hearts shut tight. The price for eternal life may just be your soul, and once you’ve sold it, there may be no going back.
Conspiracy theory – Negasi’s Response (2077)
“The world of the future is not built on illusion or conspiracy. It’s built on hard work, science, and vision. Those who cling to fear and fantasy will be left in the dust.”
Conspiracy Theory One – Daniel Fraser (June 2077)
“They call it paradise, but no one tells you about the chains. We built a digital utopia—no wars, no death, no pain—but what they won’t tell you is, once you enter, you lose the right to choose. Negasi has locked away millions of minds, stripping away their desires, emotions, and free will. The world sees a genius saving humanity; I see a dictator building a prison where the only option is happiness—whether you want it or not. This is the truth they don’t want you to hear. Dev is a trap, and we’re the bait.”
The ‘Imagine’ Campaign
The Imagine campaign introduced a world where death was no longer the end. Where heaven wasn’t a promise—it was a choice. One click, and you’re reborn in a universe where everything imaginable is possible. This is not salvation. This is Dev. And tonight, billions of us will see the moment when we can become gods.
The Birth of MaDe: A Journey Through Time and Space
In 2015, an 11-year-old boy imagined a world where humans could fully exist in a digital realm. Laughed off as impossible, his vision became the key to surviving a global pandemic—and eventually, a trillion-dollar breakthrough. What started as a humble tech hub in Ethiopia transformed into MaDe Technologies, a company that would forever change how humanity experiences life. From virtual worlds to quantum teleportation, this is the story of how one boy’s dream redefined the future. Curious? Dive in to discover how vision and technology collided to shape a new reality.
My Father, the Antique
My father has spent his life surrounded by relics of the past. He runs one of the most successful antique stores in this part of the world, but lately, I’ve realized he’s not just selling antiques—he’s becoming one. Stuck in a world where art had to scream to be meaningful, he can’t understand why I’m content creating beauty without political baggage.
To him, Development—the future we’ve earned—is terrifying. To me, it’s salvation. His generation feared the collapse of Earth, fought for survival, and now… they cling to their history like a life raft. But the irony? My father is slowly turning into the very relics he’s been selling all his life—priceless, yes, but completely out of time.
And as for me? I’m not just an artist; I’m the bridge between the past he refuses to leave behind and the future he’s too scared to embrace.
