In the near future all of humanity is caught up in the digital world. Every aspect of human life has been digitized and integrated in the worldwide online network. The people of the world trusted the brand new technology as they changed their cash for digital coins and gave their private personal information freely to social engagement websites. The world was slowly becoming slaves to their digital personals and this new technology. As the young pioneers of and inventors of this new and frightening technology sought funding and formed companies, the sleeping giants of the wealthy and elite of the world began to take notice. Quietly the rich bought out every budding coder, developer, and creator. They did this under the guise of shell corporations, education funds, and subcontracting. Once the people driving the technology innovation of tomorrow were under their control they began to shape the world’s technology for themselves. The rich and elite of the world had humanity under its control but it was difficult and tiresome work. That was why the Deepweb Network was created. They used all of the coders and developers they had bought to create a technological and social control system that would do the hard work for them with basic input from the few richest individuals on the planet. The fledgling Network started slowly. They formed small cells with individual tasks and strategies. They targeted political and social infrastructures. They used massive ad campaigns to mask the movement of funds and assets. Once the Network had grown strong enough, they launched a coordinated attack on all fronts – physically, economically, and digitally. Before anyone realized it, the Deepweb Network now had controlling shares in all corporations, governments, stock exchanges, and most digital websites. They had drained all bank accounts of money and transferred it to themselves. Almost overnight the digital age of humanity had been subverted and corrupted. The Deepweb Network controlled the flow of money and employment. Poverty rates drastically increased globally. Those unable to afford the patronage of the people within the Network were kept poor by the digital strangulation of the economy. The Network controlled all education through privatization. Prices for a good education were heavily inflated so only the elite’s children could afford to learn the skills needed to work in the world they had created. No one was able to stand up to the Network. They were either bought, wrapped up in political red tape, or all of their money was gone and they did not have the means to attack
