Gen Z Dictator
In a near-future dystopia, a young digital-era revolutionary named Zaren rises to power through viral charisma, social media manipulation, and promises of a "cleaner future." Haunted by a broken childhood, economic collapse, and endless wars, Zaren believes the root of national decay lies in the "obsolete burdens of society": the elderly, the poor, the disabled, and criminals.
He proposes a "Final Mercy Act" — a system of death chambers masked as humane euthanasia centers, where those deemed unworthy or "anti-nationals" are eliminated. Many follow him, blinded by hope, fear, or desperation.
But Zaren faces a quiet yet powerful enemy: the Constitution, upheld by a coalition of old-school lawyers, students, and AI-led civil rights groups, who believe every life has value, no matter how inefficient it seems.
Zaren’s war isn’t fought with guns—but with propaganda, court rulings, hacked AI ethics models, and televised debates that feel more like execution arenas.
