The World has become a global village. There is one currency, one language, one economic system.
Technology is so advanced that you can travel to anywhere in the World within three hours, simply at the push of a button. You can talk to anyone you want to by saying their name into the microphone implanted in your ear. Your glasses will turn into a screen through which you see the person you are talking to.
School is optional. In fact; everything is. You do whatever you want to do. If you want to better yourself, then you study, get a good job and earn Imperium.
With this Imperium, you can control your environment through the Controller that you receive as soon as you turn seven. The amount of Imperium you receive depends on the amount your parents have. There are twenty-four levels: the highest being Alpha and the lowest Omega.
There are no laws. Everyone has Rights and Responsibilities, which serve as guidelines to how you live. But you have the right of choice – you have the final say.
 
At first glance it appears to be Utopia. Except that it is not.


Aletheia is just an average girl in this New World. After being kicked out of the house by her self-obsessed mother she finds herself with a lack of purpose - until she discovers a mysterious book in the attic of her new home. Thus starts a quest for a concept unfamiliar in her society - truth.
