Topic Studios has acquired film and TV rights to Cory Doctorow’s upcoming science-fiction novella 'Unauthorized Bread,' the first in a four-part short story series that will debut next year.

'Unauthorized Bread' takes place in a near future America where the usage of everyday technology falls under the control of corporations. Refugee Salima is thrilled to be accepted into subsidized housing in Boston but it comes at a real price: every system, including all the appliances, are locked and designed to extract as much cash as possible, from the toasters that only accept "authorized bread" to the fridges that will only permit authorized groceries.
