2026: Synthetic Man, Humanized Machine, Dictatorship of the Mind, Earth is reaching the end of its tether. Without proper equipment, people see in monochrome gray. Color has become an error in the system of the Machines, who are rushing to cleanse the city of all unknown activities. In Black Rock, Arkansas, Sean, a young hacker student, will discover, despite himself, that he has extraordinary abilities. The government forbids the population to dream, to think; yet this is how Sean must save humanity from extinction. Through dreams, each as crazy as the last, he will have to confront the deities who want to destroy planet Earth. Across the cosmos, he will go so far as to visit the creative source of this circus, with the help of allies with extraordinary powers. His greatest encounter will be the one chosen by his heart. Often clumsy, with crazy thoughts, he will have to learn to outwit the traps of destiny and master his new powers. Freeing Man through the mind: before she bites the ball.
