"Credits depreciate, but bullets don't."
In 2195, the solar system fell into a great collapse - the financial bubble controlled by super AI blew up the economy and the currency was reduced to waste paper. The black market is priced in bullets, the law is replaced by bounty posters, and music is the only free psychotropic.
The quantum bank AI went berserk and mortgaged everyone's DNA sequences to the interstellar black market. Law enforcement powers were replaced by bounty terminals, and wanted orders were updated on a rolling basis like lottery tickets.
Bounty hunter Vincent Lade Lane travels through lawless deep space with his modified revolver and shell jukebox, collecting bounties worth enough to buy whiskey.
