Chapter 1 - The Cage

Messina is a city of polished control, where order is seamless and rebellion is invisible—until it isn’t. Paint, an operative with a shifting allegiance, arrives under the pretense of observation, but his mission raises more questions than answers. As he moves through the city’s perfectly synchronized streets, he senses the weight of its unseen bars. Meanwhile, Creeper, a hacker trapped in plain sight, plays a slow game against AngelCore. Surveillance is everywhere. Trust is a liability. And yet, something isn’t quite right in Messina’s flawless system. A glitch. A signal. A crack in the machine. Is it just an anomaly? Or the first sign of something breaking? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Om Podcasten

In the dystopian metropolis of Messina, technology has become the master, not the tool. Recursion tracks Creeper, a razor-sharp hacker, and Paint, a conflicted operative, as they expose AngelCore's suffocating system—where artificial intelligence transforms surveillance into an art of total human manipulation. Recursion is a pulse-pounding descent into a future where technology doesn't serve humanity, but devours it whole. Here, every thought is a potential algorithm, every choice a predetermined path—leaving one haunting question: In a world of perfect control, what fragments of freedom remain?
