2051. The world's largest company, The Company, has seized power on a planetary scale and runs the world as if it were a business. In a plutocracy, the richer one is, the more powerful one is. The elections have been replaced by general shareholders' meetings where the votes are linked to the number of shares owned by citizens. Government is made up of those who own the most shares, and it is the laws of the market that govern everything, creating a strange political system. Within this plutocracy, an anonymous citizen becomes compelled to uncover how the world came to this point, disregarding the official version. With unknown motivation and apparently against their better interests, several members of the government assist by allowing him access to information. The citizen decides on two objectives: discover the history of The Company and understand the various interest supporting his investigation. The truth behind this power and uncovering it can be frightening, but he’s determined and has little to lose. At a time when it seems more and more natural that wealthy people come to outsized political power, this graphic novel envisions the possibility that, in the near future, the world will be governed by a plutocratic system in which it will go without saying that politics and wealth go hand in hand.
