Science Fiction
A high-tech political thriller about a global information
monopoly attempting to prevent election sabotage and world
war: Little Brother meets The West Wing.
It's been twenty years and two election cycles since
Information, a powerful search engine monopoly, pioneered
the switch from warring nation-states to global
microdemocracy. The corporate coalition party Heritage has
won the last two elections. With another election on the
horizon, the Supermajority is in tight contention, and
everything's on the line. With power comes corruption. For Ken, this is his chance
to do right by the idealistic Policy1st party and get a
steady job in the big leagues. For Domaine, the election
represents another staging ground in his ongoing struggle
against the pax democratica. For Mishima, a dangerous
Information operative, the whole situation is a puzzle:
how do you keep the wheels running on the biggest
political experiment of all time, when so many have so
much to gain? All three begin to realize that not everyone plans to play
fair at the next election. The Liberty party is ascending
on the back of subtle promises of warfare, and Heritage
will do anything to keep itself in power. A perfect storm
is brewing, one that might bring the new world order to
its knees.
