Social Segments / Status Ladders

The social segments within the story world are split between the rebel groups, which is composed of people from the off-grid community and also the employee ranks within the companies. Within the rebel groups, there is a council group mostly consisting of older people who have seen the progression of the harsher company agreements. They organize the off-grid community. The young adults within the off-grid community work together in creating and innovating alternative products and services to use instead of the mainstream companies' in order to bypass having to get chips inserted within themselves. The companies’ CEOs are the only ones besides those who live off the grid that don't have chips inserted within them. They are unaffected by the controlling techniques. Their vice presidents and lower ranks all have chips inserted but not as controlling as the common people have inserted. The closer ranked to the CEO the more freedom they have over their own lives. This is what leads to some of the high ranked employees to fight against the CEO once the hybrids attack the companies.
