Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

In the near future, people have achieved immortality through a technology that allows them to back up their consciousnesses and restore themselves to life after death. In this world, the Magic Kingdom is not only a theme park but also a bastion of old-world charm and a hub of cutting-edge technology.



The protagonist, Julius, is a veteran of the park's ad-hocracy—a system of governance that rewards merit and innovation. He finds himself battling a rival faction that wants to modernize the park's attractions at the expense of its historical charm. Amidst this conflict, Julius navigates personal and professional challenges, facing threats both from within the park and from his own past. As he contends with the pressures of the ad-hocracy and the changing face of the Magic Kingdom, he grapples with questions of identity, memory, and the true cost of immortality.
