The Man Who Loves Watches: But Hates What They Measure

If you enjoyed the Matrix, you'll love this!

Ion Reed has it all, money, friends, power and… the promise of eternal youth.
Ion lives in a world where humanity has disconnected their physical bodies from the process of ageing. A civilisation of hundred and fifty year olds in youthful disguise inhabit a planet that has lost its diversity in an event of mass-extinction many decades ago. Human nourishment is based on soy, algae and jellyfish harvested by fleets of trawlers scourging the seas.
When a skin irritation appears on Ion’s wrist his monotonous life takes an unexpected turn. He meets a woman, Luna, at his favourite jelly-wrap stand and follows her recommendation of treating the rash with water and soap – a chemical compound unknown to modern civilization. The seemingly harmless substance triggers a domino effect. Things start breaking down until, only a few hours later, Ion’s life spins out of control.
