QUALIA

If you were in the Garden of Eden, would you have stopped Eve from eating the forbidden fruit? Or were you born a fruitarian? The year is 2099. The city is Freya and siblings Donnie and Drea chase the NeuroOrchid, a mental upgrade that promises a perfect brain.

In a futuristic world where the NeuroOrchid procedure promises perfect happiness by removing emotional suffering, siblings Drea and Donnie discover the true cost when their surgery fails, stripping them of their qualia, the unique personal experiences that make life meaningful. As they navigate a corporate dystopia run by Snapdragon Industries, they uncover a resistance movement led by their supposedly dead father, Atlas, and must decide whether feeling nothing is worse than feeling everything.
