In the near future, a revolutionary technology called nano bots was developed. These tiny robots were able to replicate and replace human tissue, effectively making it possible for people to live forever.
As news of this technology spread, the demand for it skyrocketed. People from all over the world were willing to pay any price to attain immortality.
However, there was one catch: the technology was extremely expensive. Only the rich were able to afford it, and as a result, only they were able to live forever.
As time passed, the divide between the rich and the poor grew wider and wider. The rich, with their access to the nano tech, lived luxurious lives without any fear of death. They were able to amass vast amounts of wealth and power, while the poor were left to struggle and eventually die.
The rich became a privileged class, ruling over the rest of society with impunity. They saw themselves as superior beings, immune to the ravages of time and death.
But as with all things, there was a price to pay for this newfound immortality. The nano bots required constant maintenance and upgrades, which only the rich were able to afford. As a result, they were forever tied to their wealth, unable to escape the cycle of consumption and acquisition.
In the end, it seemed that immortality was more of a curse than a blessing, as it only served to exacerbate the inequalities of society. The rich lived forever, while the poor were left to die.
