The Age of Emotions

In this world, human emotions are no longer abstract psychological experiences. They are tangible forms of energy that can be quantified, stored, traded, and even weaponized: "emotional entropy." Everyone's emotions release emotional entropy at different frequencies. The seven basic emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire correspond to seven colors in the emotional entropy spectrum.

Human society is built on "emotional entropy economics." Currency, energy, and power all come from emotions.

"Emotion hunters" emerge, professionals who harvest other people's extreme emotions.

"Emotional resonance technology" makes it possible for millions of people to share the same memory.
