What would you do with unlimited time?

Emit Trotsid is a young, philanthropic entrepreneur with the means to change human civilization as we know it. He has discovered how to utilize a psychological phenomenon known as time distortion—the difference between elapsed time and perceived time—to achieve the nearest approximation of immortality. Seeing the internet as our collective human consciousness, and the sharing of ideas as a basic human right, Emit is days away from launching his brainchild, a web-based training tool that he will make available to everyone free of charge. As his team of handpicked pioneers use their own innovations to set events in motion, Emit’s world begins to unravel. What began as a utopian venture threatens to collapse into an apocalyptic nightmare unless Emit can decode the enigma of his own fear.

"You’ve heard it said that we can’t change the time we are given, only how we use it? Well, that’s not exactly true anymore. I’ve discovered that by changing how we use it, we can change the time we are given. This is what we as a species have been seeking since the dawn of our existence—immortality. My name is Emit Trotsid, and I am the world’s foremost pioneer of lucid time distortion. I’m going to share my technology freely with the collective human consciousness. I will teach you how to claim what’s rightfully yours; but the question is, what will you do with that time?"

That’s my marketing pitch. At least, it used to be … before the paranoia, headaches, and premonitions.
