In its beginnings, Worldcoin promised equality: a universal basic income, digital identity for all, and the opening of a new global economy. Millions flocked to register their eyes, handing over their biometrics to the “Orbs” of light that captured the soul through the iris.
Governments celebrated its adoption. Banks disappeared. Everything was fast, secure, inevitable.
But over time, the truth emerged.
The databases, protected by fragile algorithms, began to be breached. Millions of identities were stolen, sold on dark markets, used for fraud, crimes, and digital slavery.
Worldcoin, which had promised freedom, became a chain. Without your eye scan, you could not buy, sell, work, or even travel. Dissidents, those who did not submit their iris, were marginalized, turned into outcasts, condemned to a life in the shadows.
Then came the great fall: the Master Orb — the central server that held all the scans — was hacked.
All of humanity, turned into raw data, was put up for sale to the highest bidder. Not only did they steal fortunes: they stole faces, fingerprints, gazes. They stole identity itself.
Cities fell into chaos. Networks collapsed. Trust, that fragile fabric that held the new world order, shattered like glass. In the end, Worldcoin was not the promise of a new era, but its curse.
The currency lost its value. The scanners, abandoned in empty streets, reflected the light of distant fires.
And in the forgotten corners of the world, the men and women who never submitted their gaze to the Orb, the invisibles, began to rebuild what had been lost: a humanity without chains.
