Lexi Reyes films her entire warehouse being replaced by robots in real time. Chloe Minter records what sounds like gunfire at a peaceful demonstration. By nightfall all three are arrested for dangerous content. In the aftermath of America's worst economic collapse a mega-corporation fires tens of thousands of workers in a single day-replacing them with automation while the nation watches helplessly. But in a world where truth has been criminalized under the Dangerous Content Laws the journalists and creators documenting the collapse become the story itself. Told entirely through recovered footage transcribed streams and seized recordings The Ninety-Nine reconstructs the first twenty-four hours of a revolution that no one saw coming-except the content creators who risked everything to capture it. Each chapter is narrated by a different voice. Each voice tells a different truth. And each narrator will be silenced by the system they're trying to expose. This is not a story about heroes. This is a story about what happens when recording reality becomes an act of rebellion when algorithms decide what's true and when mercy is punished as treason.The cameras are rolling.The arrests have begun.And the revolution is already spreading.A haunting fragmented portrait of collapse told through the eyes of those who dared to document it. Urgent unflinching and unnervingly prescient.Reads like tomorrow's headlines written by yesterday's dissidents.This is what happens when journalism becomes a crime and truth becomes dangerous.
