  • I hate the idea of inherited debt - which means that’d be an amazing driving source of discontent in a novel!

    Are all humans tracked by said corps? Assuming they are, how would they react to untracked children? Surely some humans manage to get away and breed, and wander their way back into society. How is the debt tracked? Are we talking like tattoos of bar codes ala Idiocracy? A genetic marker? Retinal scans? What kind of market is out there to circumvent this tracker method? It seems like there’d be an underground trade that works against this inherited debt prospect, and assists in relocating people into new areas not overruled by the corps.

    Who is in charge of said corps? Assuming there’s a managerial style network (President, ceo, admins, etc), would they have their own colony? One per corp? Or is it computer/AI driven? How is innovation handled? New companies are created all the time but in this scenario I’d think they’d stamp out any new prospects. Do the corps create at all? Or do they just become an “old guard” so to speak of entities that exist just to collect money due to their original role in the exodus, and thus stymying any new progress for humanity?

    I’m very interested in learning more!
