The year is 2028. A new bureaucracy called the Historical Reparations Administration employs a supercomputer to crunch historical data in order to calculate each citizen's Debit Score.

At times chilling, insightful, and hilarious, this satirical series strives to help people make sense of the "current year" hysteria that is slowly driving everyone insane.
