Chronicle of the Aphasic Man

In 2187, the Oro Federation entered the era of synesthesia. A nerve patch affixed to the back of the neck allowed humans to realize direct brainwave communication without language. Behind the elimination of barriers was a dark conspiracy between the technology giant Nova Intelligence and the top federal officials. The synaesthesia patch used low-frequency brain waves to quietly tamper with thinking, eliminate individual independent consciousness, and shape all human beings into puppets that obey the collective. Karen Vaughn, the core developer of synaesthesia patches, refused to be implanted after discovering a conspiracy, and became an "aphasic" abandoned by the mainstream world, hiding in the Waste Valley on the edge of the Federation. Here, he got acquainted with Leila, an elite member of the Iron Guard camp who defected because her family was devoured by the patch, Logan, a former mercenary who values ​​​​love and justice, Elliot, a talented young hacker, and Thorne, the academic leader who was the first to question the era of synesthesia. This group of people labeled as "alien" became the only group of humans that retained independent thinking. They built a secret base in Wasteland Valley, using flesh and technology as shields to declare war on the technology that controls the world. From cracking the network defense line of Nova Intelligence, to instigating the rebellion of deeply modulated agents, from making the conspiracy public to awaken the numb people, to forming an alliance of the aphasic to fight side by side with the civilian rebels, they broke through the federal encirclement and suppression again and again, facing the ambition of Nova founder Victor, the pursuit of paranoid female engineer Zoe, and the iron-fisted suppression of the cyborg commander. The brainwave countermeasure device fights against mind tampering, the black market forces leverage the foundation of the federation, and the final battle is directed at the brainwave control center underground in Nova Tower...
