This city is optimized based on the most perfect solution: the human brain. Every control system is regulated like the brain would, and so everything works smoothly. Humans decided to... make some improvements.
The one problem with the human brain is that it fails to maximize full productivity. It sleeps for almost half of the 24 hours of the day, losing precious hours of working time. As the Human mind itself cannot be rewritten to work the full 24 hours, they decided to perfect their way of life to account for such a problem.
The population of the city was divided into 8 Rhythms, each with an equal number of people, each of whom's internal body clock was altered as to maximize productivity.

Veil of Utopia
Amidst the shimmering façade of a world painted in perfection and utopia, a shadow of deceit loomed over the unaware population. It was a world where citizens smiled through their days, ignorant of the intricate web of illusion woven around them. The sun always shone, the skies were perpetually blue, and the cities gleamed with an otherworldly luster. Yet, behind this idyllic veneer, lay a truth concealed by those who sought to manipulate and control. Unbeknownst to the masses, history had been rewritten, memories altered, and knowledge distorted. The government, an amalgamation of ideologies that had once plagued the world, had risen to power under the guise of unity and harmony. Socialism, communism, Marxism, and totalitarianism merged into a single entity that held the strings of every citizen's life. The all-seeing eye of artificial intelligence monitored every thought, every action, ensuring conformity to the established norms. Resistance was the flicker of hope that persisted in the hearts of a few. Scattered across the globe, these individuals dared to question the perfection presented to them. They yearned for a return to the democratic ways of their ancestors, where freedom, free speech, and independent living were cherished above all else.Complete

Engineered Empress - The story of Bia
In an asteroid field in a faraway part of the Orion arm, is a small mining station called Hunters Back. My name Is Bia and I live here, or better I exist here. I never fitted in with the natives. A metal poisoning during my mom's pregnancy stumped my growth and made me look different. To not get bullied too much, I had to learn martial arts, which only isolated me more. Well at least I thought so; until my communication system told me, that there is an alien AI living inside of me and I am now the empress of an extinct civilization and if I want to safeguard at least the rest of their knowledge, I have to get off my butt and take action and make a few friends on the way. Hell, my live was boring anyway. So why not.Complete
