In a near-future economy where attention itself is commodified, the poor sell access to their minds. Risa Cho is a broker in that system - matching clients with corporations that pay to insert advertising directly into human cognition. It's legal, normalized, and, as far as she tells herself, ethical. Then one of her clients breaks the system. Petra's brain begins rejecting the ads. Not passively - actively rerouting around them. What should be a contract termination instead becomes something far more dangerous. The corporation doesn't want to let her go. They want to study her. Replicate her resistance. Eliminate it everywhere. As Risa is pulled deeper into a system she once navigated with ease, she's forced to confront what she's really been selling - and what happens when a human mind stops cooperating. A sharp, unsettling techno-thriller about autonomy, exploitation, and the price of attention in a fully monetized world.
