Near future, capitalism evolves into a new system "capitalismo" (called after a book "Capitalismo" of a Spanish author that first describes the new form of capitalism, in Spanish the system is called "new capitalism"). Capitalismo is a capitalism without pretence, in which corporations have such a power that they've bough governments and armies and no longer depend on good image. So they stop pretending their goal is to create a better society and openly admit their goal is solely their own profit and exploitation of people towards that goal. The world is now strictly hierarchical with a single person, #1, an owner of the absolute monopoly world corporation, at the top. His corporation has an absolute power, control of all resources, commands the biggest world army, controls the Internet and all information, creates laws, uses absolute surveillance. There still exist companies other than the world monopoly, but they usually openly exist only to formally serve as a "proof" of free market. The fact that this is a lie isn't hideen, everyone knows it and this is just a part of world folklore. People working at these companies do meaningless work like transport rocks from one part of the world to another, then back. People in this system are labeled with percentage that expresses the amount of their enslavement. This percentage is defined as the percentage of their time alive (minus sleep time, time for eating, goint to toilet, approved reporoduction etc.) spent actively working towards maintaining the system. The primary goal of a person in this system is no longer to create capital, but to minimize his percentage rating. Only children shortly after birth are rated 0%. #1 is close to 0, about 1%, and spends all his time in whirpools and on beaches, having sex with women etc. He only very briefly checks everything is working as it should, all thinking and ruling is done for him by his subordinates. His close family members are below 10%, more actively engaging in ruling the system. The highest standing subordinates of #1 are between 10% and 20%. Prevailing majority of the world is above 50%, with people above 60% only having extremely basic education. Most people on Earth are above 90% and do not even know what system they're part of, they cannot even count to 100 to be able to understand their percentage rating. Their only purpose is to be exploited by the system and not live very long, they get the cheepest food, no healthcare etc.
