In "Fifteen Million Merits," a dystopian world is presented where people live in a gray, digital environment, earning merits by cycling on stationary bikes. The main character, Bing, is one of many who work hard to gather these merits, which are used as currency. Bing spends his days cycling and watching talent shows on screens that surround him. His life changes when he meets a girl named Abi, who sings beautifully and dreams of escaping their monotonous lives. Bing becomes motivated to help Abi achieve her dreams by using his merits to enter her into a popular talent show called "Hot Shot."
