In a near future where the market has swallowed everything, speech itself gets a price. Talking now comes with bundles and payment plans, and what first seems absurd soon wins people over; hardly anyone pushes back. As every word costs money, the distance between rich and poor grows. The story is laced with news links, QR codes, emojis and photographs, against the backdrop of a world with six thousand languages.
