They All Want Me to Spend Money

[Originally titled Advance on Money, blurb pending revision JPG]

A mysterious, undeletable app called "The Cage" appears on a phone. It allows users to draw on assets from the future in advance, and even use games within the app to plunder other people's wealth...

Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents surge.

Some choose to squander their wealth and live only for pleasure;

Some set trap after trap, laying a net that leaves nowhere to escape, and watch their prey struggle from the shadows;

Some reveal their innermost madness, wagering everything they own in every game;

.

The app "The Cage" has a leaderboard showing only the top one hundred players.

A name made up of meaningless characters holds the top spot, with a score so high no one else can come close.

No one knows who this person is. All they know is that, from the very first estimate of their wealth, it was incalculable.

The one thing everyone agrees on is this:

This person is a rational madman.

.

"The Cage"

Are we trapped in a cage, or have we confined ourselves?
