SYSTOICS - PART 1

High-Functioning Temptation

CONTEXT: In times of the Great Optimisation, a privileged group of people wired themselves tightly into the system by aligning with it and fully integrating. The Systoics believe they have perfected themselves by shedding everything that slows them down.

High-functioning Temptation tells the story of how integration came to be โ€” what happened to the Systoics during the time of the Great Optimisation. It serves as the first introduction to Systoical mindspace, values, and evolution.
