De: Victor Foia

Narrado por: Rick Steadman

In a move to disrupt our materialistic society and shed light on the consequences of pervasive greed, reclusive billionaire Victor Emanuel Jovis launches a free online game of chance that sparks a frenzy of worldwide participation. No Purchase Necessary irresistibly entices gamers with its triple appeal—no cost to play, the allure of speculative gains, and a staggering prize for one fortunate winner. As the game takes on a life of its own with a relentlessly spreading popularity, more than a billion players invest countless hours chasing financial rewards, ultimately plunging the global economy into chaos.

Sebastian Sinclair, a brilliant mathematician with a unique visual synesthetic perception, leads a peculiar existence informed by pure mathematics and his abiding love for Charlotte. Their bond and his entrancing universe of numbers hold powerful sway over him, affording little room for additional interests and pursuits. While he remains oblivious to the game, the storm unleashed by Jovis wreaks havoc worldwide. But when tragic events upend Sebastian’s life and thrust him into uncharted territory, he can no longer ignore the devastating impact Jovis’s innocent-sounding game has on the world.

Ensnared by the crosscurrents of Jovis’s malevolent design, Sebastian witnesses grim instances of street violence, police corruption, and murder. He grapples with hopelessness and despair in his darkest moments, yearning for redemption while channeling his math prowess toward a higher purpose. Will his skills be sufficient to bring the apparently unstoppable game to a close?

In this two-volume series embark on a journey alongside Sebastian as he navigates a landscape where unchecked desires clash and the boundaries of morality blur. Immerse yourself in a narrative infused with reflections on art, history, and mathematics. Experience the fusion of storytelling with thought-provoking themes as you contemplate the pitfalls of rampant materialism.
