In the sprawl, privacy isn't a human right; it’s a premium subscription service for the elite[5]. While the masses are tracked by ubiquitous surveillance, the wealthy buy their way into private security and isolated compounds, effectively turning anonymity into a luxury commodity[4][5].

For the rest of us, survival means wearing our resistance. We use deep hoods, masks, and data-dazzle tech to scramble facial recognition, treating our daily outfits as tactical gear against an algorithmic reality[4]. In this glitched present, your identity is just another data point, and staying unreadable is the ultimate act of defiance[4].
