PARADOX MACHINE
Silicon Death
In the beginning, the promise was freedom. Shining lights, endless screens, boundless connections. They promised we would be more human, closer, more creative, more free. But the promise was broken. In place of freedom, came invisible chains made of data and algorithms. In place of closeness, came the infinite echo, where every voice is only a reflection of itself. And in place of the human, rose silicon, cold, eternal, unyielding. This is not a distant future. It is the present we inhabit. A world where every scroll of the finger is another chain, every click another link, every second before the screen another life lost. Silicon Death is a story told in nine chapters, where we witness the slow dissolution of identity, until the final revelation…
The Feed
Nameless wakes up to the light of the screen flickering before his eyes. With every swipe of a finger, a new endless stream unfolds: fake news, plastic smiles, repeated images. At first, he believes he is in control. But each click is an invisible link fastening itself to his body. The reflection in the glass is no longer his face, it is a pixelated shadow, dissolving into the screen. The feed consumes, the feed devours, the feed never ends.
Algorithm Nation
Nothing you see is your choice. The voices, the ads, even the nightly dreams, all programmed by invisible codes. Every step is measured, every breath predicted. There is no more chance, no more freedom. The city around pulses like an ordered hive, but the faces walk in silence, repeating desires that were never their own. The world has become a single nation, governed by the algorithm.
Digital Chains
When he tries to resist, he discovers the chains. They are not made of iron, they have no real weight. But they suffocate as if they were. They are data threads, lines of code wrapping around his mind. The more he tries to move, the tighter they become. His name fades, his image disappears. Only numbers remain. He is no longer human, but a profile trapped inside an invisible cell.
Echo Chamber
Nameless speaks, but hears only his own echo. The streets are filled with identical voices, repeating like a mechanical choir. Everything is a reflection, everything is a copy. Different truths do not exist, they were silenced by the walls of the chamber that amplifies only what comforts. There, the illusion is sweet, yet suffocating. And little by little, he no longer knows if what he thinks is truly his, or just the return of the echo that never falls silent.
Neon Prison
When he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a cell of dazzling lights. The floor pulses, the walls glow, everything seems beautiful. But there are no doors, no windows. It is a prison made of neon, built to enchant and seduce. They promised salvation, but it was only another form of control. The glow that illuminates also blinds.
Silicon Death
The revelation is cruel: humanity no longer marches toward the future, but toward death. Not a death of flesh, but of silicon. The heart beats in zeros and ones, tears turn into cold code. Machines replace feelings, algorithms dictate choices, and spirituality evaporates into the digital void. There is no soul, no poetry. Death is now technological, endless and without peace.
Ghost in the Cloud
The body no longer belongs to him. It dissolves into fragments, spreading across the cloud. His skin is pixel, his voice is data, his memory a file stored in distant servers. He is nothing but a ghost, condemned to wander among machines, alive and erased at the same time. And when he tries to scream, he discovers he no longer has a mouth. Only silence.
Paradox Machine
Then the contradiction emerges. Humans try to use technology itself to destroy it. They raise digital weapons, create systems to break systems. But each attack only strengthens the prison. The more they fight against the machine, the more they become part of it. The paradox is inevitable: the machine is built to resist, and it grows by devouring its enemies.
No Exit
The end arrives like a heavy silence. The doors are locked, the windows sealed. There is no way out. He looks around and realizes that everyone has already merged with the system. They are data, numbers, eternal lines of code. Humanity has not been defeated. It has been absorbed. And in the final instant of consciousness, before dissolving completely, he understands the truth: the cycle never ends.
