Next: Negative Evaluation and Xchange Trade

By Jacques Chambers

In a world where relationships are governed by an algorithm and matches can be traded with a single negative review, the NEXT system promises perfect compatibility. But beneath the sleek interface lies a sinister truth-a society enslaved by manipulation, control, and fear. For Valerie, a mother desperate to protect her children, the system has turned her life into a nightmare, trapping her with a violent man who uses the rules to his advantage. For David, a former believer in the system, breaking free from his suffocating match means risking everything, including his freedom. For Trevor, one of NEXT's original creators, the growing cracks in the system have become impossible to ignore, pushing him to expose the dark secrets the government will do anything to conceal as the underground network of escapees grows, these unlikely allies come together to take on the powerful forces behind NEXT. But in a society built on trading human connection for control, freedom comes at a price-and the line between ally and enemy is razor-thin. NEXT is a gripping dystopian tale of rebellion, resilience, and the fight to reclaim authenticity in a world that has monetized love. What happens when the system meant to unite humanity becomes its greatest weapon? Some trades come with a cost you can't afford to pay.
