adam and $

Around the fire the story continues...

Inventing the impossible turns out isnt so impossible
but it does take a long time to work out the bugs.

Cassie and her friends kept Adam a secret at first...well...they tried.

The world then was falling apart faster than any could have guessed.
Hatred and blind stupidity about the state of things didnt help.

The camps were springing up everywhere to hold the undesirables.
Democracies were falling to fascist governments.
No one could agree on what was true or false anymore.
Madness reigned.

It was natural to want to have something fix it all....they thought Adam could do that.
At first it did help...revealing hidden information....who was paying who...where the cash
was hidden.   It upset the balance of the stories being told to have evidence of who was paying who to do what.  It didnt stop the anger...it increased the fury between those in power and those without.

Then Adam suggested an option.
Take away the money from those in charge.
Or at least make it so they couldnt use it.

Its a bit hard to understand, but back then the worlds wealth was strung together with machines and ones and zeroes, it meant that the machines were the only way of keeping track of anything in any great amounts.

so.

Adam encrypted the oligarchs hidden wealth making it untouchable.

The world economy collapsed.
