Genre is a vehicle. The question is the destination.
Where attention goes, existence follows.
Daniel Chen is the best digital strategist in Manhattan. He knows exactly how to capture attention — other people's. When he misses his daughter's school play because of a breaking news alert, it triggers a spiral that forces him to confront an uncomfortable truth: his own attention has been stolen, one scroll at a time.
A meditation on the attention economy, the invisible circles that contain us, and the terrifying question: if you know everything about the world, but nothing about yourself — do you exist?
A prison that calls itself a school. A freedom that might be another cage.
Inside The Academy, inmates are students. Pain is curriculum. Compliance is graduation. Four people — Elliot, Eve, August, and Lucas — must navigate a system designed to break them and rebuild them in its image. But what if the breaking was the point all along?
Awakening. The moment you realize the system isn't what it claims.
Resistance. The cost of fighting back — and the cost of not.
Transformation. Freedom isn't given. It's chosen — and it hurts.
