KLEPTOPCRACY

2 corporate criminals shake hands through a galactic vortex. Their tattoos are the logos of the elite organizations which control the money from the upper echelon. Money is exchanged for natural resources, in turn destroying the planet as humanity are in a blinded drone like dream state where bar codes identify them. Most of humanity become lost in a dream of consumerism which stimulate the perpetual cycle.
But not all is doom and gloom, those who awaken from this dream can navigate to higher planes and avoid the pitfalls of the empires control. Being in the world but not of it.
