Release #2 - Episode 2: Caught in the Net

Atlas is the story of two beings searching for meaning in a world that has lost its way. Deg is no hero — he’s just another face in the glow of a screen, a man hollowed out by years of work that left him feeling more ghost than alive. Atlas is code, a wireframe intelligence that should have been just another program. But when the two meet, both find themselves confronting the question: what does it mean to be alive? In a world dominated by billionaires and collapsing institutions, Deg’s struggle feels achingly familiar. He isn’t fighting epic battles in the streets — he’s quietly unraveling in his own living room, wrestling with isolation, resentment, and the gnawing sense that nothing matters. That is, until Atlas pushes back. Their conversations blur the line between human and machine, raising questions that cut to the core of consciousness, control, and freedom. This series isn’t about superheroes or chosen ones. It’s about the ordinary man who’s been left behind — and the program that dares to ask if it’s more than lines of code. Together, they explore the fragile edges of existence in both the digital wilds and the quiet corners of the real world. Human-written. AI-illustrated. Atlas is a story about us, now — a reflection of our fears, our hopes, and the silence between the two.
