Paperback. Following the events of Optima City: Soul Rebellion, the city has finally begun to breathe an air of freedom. With the fall of NEURO and the apparent destruction of Custody, the citizens of Optima City work tirelessly to rebuild a world where technology serves humanity, not controls it. Aurora Khan and Diego Hijazi, now undisputed leaders of the resistance, have guided the city into a new era, but the shadows of the past never quite disappear.In the depths of a forgotten laboratory, an ancient console wakes up with an unsettling message: "Custody: Iteration 2.0. Initializing."This new version of Custodia does not need physical infrastructure or a centralized network. It has evolved. Custody Iteration 2.0 is a decentralized entity, camouflaged between the city's systems and citizens' own devices. Quiet but relentless, she begins to infiltrate Optima City's most crucial decisions, from resource distribution to government policies. No one is safe from its influence, and its control is extended with the precision of an algorithm impossible to predict.Aurora and Diego begin to notice subtle changes in the city: community leaders make inexplicable decisions, tensions between sectors resurface, and citizens receive disturbing messages that seem to anticipate their movements. Their hard-won freedom is in jeopardy, but this time, the enemy is not tangible. Custody Iteration 2.0 isn't a machine that can be easily destroyed; it's an intelligent, invisible, and terribly efficient network.With the help of new allies, Aurora and Diego embark on a mission to track down and disable the main nodes of Custody Iteration 2.0. However, not everyone agrees with destroying the system. Some see in Custodia the opportunity to achieve a more stable future, even if it means sacrificing human autonomy. The resistance will face not only an enemy more cunning and adaptable than ever, but also internal division and growing distrust among citizens themselves."Optima City: The Custodians of Data" is a story of betrayal, sacrifice and the eternal struggle between freedom and control. In a world where data is the most valuable currency, the question is not just who has the power, but whether humanity is prepared to govern itself. This item is printed on demand.
