In the gleaming towers of the digital age, where code flows like blood and deadlines pulse with the urgency of a heartbeat, humanity finds itself at the mercy of its own creations. "Digital Metamorphoses" is a tale woven from the threads of ambition, efficiency, and the relentless march of progress. This novella re-imagines the transformation not as a solitary curse, but as a corporate contagion, where the boundaries between man and mechanism blur into oblivion.
Set against the backdrop of India's booming IT sector, where 75-hour work/week is a badges of honor and innovation is the new deity, we follow the inexorable descent of ordinary lives into an extraordinary horror. Here, the cubicle is the cocoon, the memo the mandate, and the metamorphosis the ultimate optimization. This is not merely a story of change; it is a warning whispered in the hum of servers and the click of keyboards: in our quest to build empires of silicon, we risk becoming the very bugs in the system we seek to eradicate.
In the age of endless sprints and agile dreams, how far removed are we from the Hive? Please proceed with caution, for the line between satire and prophecy is thinner than a gelatinous spine.
