Ephemeral

Kravin is a test subject for a new technology that implants a chip in the brain to broadcast advertisements during sleep. He is caught up in a frantic race for loyalty points. Spending more to earn more, and owning, owning more and more, always more new things… But even before it gets old, the new becomes obsolete, and the pleasure doesn’t last. Is the source of happiness to be found elsewhere?
