Spiderhead

Storyline Spiderhead

Steve Abnes is undoubtedly a visionary and a genius in the field of medicine and biochemistry. His drugs radically change the human psyche, albeit temporarily.

For example, N-40 or Luvactin is a drug that enhances emotions and causes euphoria in the subject. On the contrary, the introduction of Darkenfloxx leads to severe mental and physical disorders. There is also a cure for forgetting words — Verbaluce.

Jeff, Lizzie and others are in Spiderhead and take part in trials on people in the hope of a reduced sentence and certain privileges.

Prisoners in this institution enjoy a certain freedom. There are no locked doors or orange jumpsuits. Prisoners can potentially have their own housing, and they can spend some time on the street.

But Jeff gradually realizes that there is a high price to pay for all this. But he doesn't want to pay.

The concept of free will is perhaps the most important aspect of the narrative. Steve's drugs directly violate this freedom
