Convenience has a price.
A powerful company offers the ultimate luxury: someone else can eat, sleep, and exercise for you—while you reap the benefits.
What begins as effortless living quickly becomes something else entirely.
Because when the system starts to crack, the truth is far more dangerous than convenience.
A gripping sci-fi thriller about control, class, and the cost of giving yourself away.
A dark sci-fi thriller with heart.
A story of power, privilege, secrecy, and the human cost hidden beneath a perfect system.
Outsource life itself
In this world, someone else can eat, sleep, and exercise for you—while your body still receives the benefit.
Convenience turns costly
What looks like luxury and innovation begins to reveal a darker system built on hidden human cost.
Control, class, and consequence
The story pulls together corporate power, privilege, grief, and the danger of giving too much of yourself away.
The Surrogates
A powerful corporation has solved life’s most basic problem: effort.
With the use of surrogates, clients can outsource eating, sleeping, and exercise—living freely while someone else does the work.
What begins as innovation quickly becomes obsession.
For the wealthy, it’s convenience.
For others, it’s survival.
As the system expands, lives begin to collide from opposite sides of it—shaped by power, privilege, and the cost of participation.
But beneath the promise of a better life lies something far more unsettling.
A system built on control.
A truth carefully hidden.
And consequences no one is prepared to face.
When the cracks begin to show, walking away may no longer be an option.
