Ryan Wall | 1 comments The protagonist is a girl. In this world, social media really drives everyone's daily life. Everyone in the world has a ranking/rating based on how famous they are/how many people know of them. People with high rankings have easier lives and have special benefits, while people with lower rankings have much harder lives. Everyone has a sort of "channel", and some people get famous off them, and that what the protagonist wants to do. She learns about this group of rebel girls who don't use the "internet" or big social media thing, and she wants to join their group and learn more about them so her channel might blow up. Anyway, the girls are known for riding alongside these futuristic magnetic trains as they go by. For the test the girls give her in order to join them, she goes into a sewer or something and loses her personal drone, which was supposed to be recording her. Eventually, she joins them, and the group rides a train through a mountain, where they find a hidden entrance to some bunker or something. I think the plot ends up being like a rebelling from the government kind of thing.
