Dakari, an 11-year-old boy, exchanges his blood with an aging billionaire to extend the older man's life. Promised a better future for his family, Dakari feels a deep sense of betrayal as he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the grim reality of his sacrifice. When he uncovers the treatments will dramatically shorten his life, he faces the difficult choice between fleeing and staying to support his family. Dakari's struggle for survival reveals the dark side of immortality and the harsh cost of human exploitation.

An astrophysicist is blackmailed into joining billionaire space entrepreneur Dev Chada on a mission to investigate a mysterious anomaly at Lagrange Point 4. As their spaceship, the Mangala, ventures further from Earth, tensions rise when sabotage threatens their journey. This reveals deep-rooted fears about alien contact, sending the crew on a collision course with each other and the mysterious object.

Tarak, hoping to earn some extra money, joins a telepathy study at the Center for Extrasensory Research. Initially skeptical, he finds the process simple enough: meditate and report any visions. But strange occurrences follow—memory lapses, inexplicable purchases, and headaches. When he discovers mysterious implants in his neck, he seeks medical help. Returning to the center, he finds it empty. His neck implants vanish. Meanwhile, suspicions arise about his involvement in a data center breach. As Tarak grapples with these mysteries, he realizes he's entangled in something far larger and more sinister than a simple telepathy study.

Doctor Slow-mo tries to outdo his grandmother, aka Cerebral, by giving his six-year-old niece a DIY CRISPR home gene-editing kit as a birthday present. But neither anticipates how the incredibly smart little girl will combine their gifts.

A cognitively enhanced, PI begins to suspect he is getting involved in something far more complicated than his secretive client has let on.

After being cognitively enhanced, Corey is disgraced and booted out of the prestigious private intelligence company which employed and altered him. Eight years later, he finally lands his first gig of any consequence as a private investigator. But he soon begins to suspect he is getting involved in something far more complicated than his secretive client has let on.
