1984 canada collapse contemporary corporations dystopian election environment experimental halifax lgbt near-future orwell political project2025 satire sciencefiction scifi speculative trump

This web-novel is an experiment. It overlays the text of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four with a story set 40 years from now. Like most science fiction, this work is connected to the problems of our current day: cultural, environmental and political. The real Nineteen Eighty-Four is a book people know without having read: Big Brother, thoughtcrime and doublethink are very much a part of today's popular culture. Twenty Sixty-Four takes the original template as an internet meme, a popular image repurposed and given a different caption. It is satire and speculation, with the hope that our real future is nothing like this one. Asked about Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell said he hoped it would not come true, describing his book as a warning. After the recent election, Twenty Sixty-Four reimagines Orwell's classic in the spirit of keeping that intention alive.All Rights Reserved

Galactic Taboo by spleenobsession

In an eerily inverted world, humanity reels under the shadow of sinister extraterrestrial forces. The new reality is stark and bewildering, marked by a chasm between what is and what is portrayed. Powerless governments resort to deception, propagating the illusion of normalcy while death and mysterious ailments ravage the populace. In this regime, even acknowledging the existence of extraterrestrials is heresy, a paranoid fantasy dismissed and suppressed. Embark on an immersive journey into this dystopian realm, seen through the eyes of a brave few, the resolute resistance. These individuals defy the imposed silence, voicing the forbidden, risking all to shatter the façade of lies. Facing internment and stigma, they stand against not only the alien menace but also an oppressive regime, determined to uphold its illusory peace at any cost. This is a tale of rebellion, intrigue, and the relentless pursuit of truth. Witness humanity's resilience as it confronts the greatest challenge in its history. The question lingers: Can it overcome its own denial? The race against time is on. This gripping novel promises to hold you captive until its final page. In a world where truth is the ultimate transgression, brace yourself for a literary odyssey that will linger long after the journey concludes.

Static Crush {M/M} ✔ by kataraqui

WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.

Will Democracy Survive by urbancowgirl0244

This is a fictional story based on a many actual events both historical and current. Join Anni on a journey through the heart of Florida's ideological battlegrounds as she investigates the roots of school book bans and anti-woke policies. In a state embroiled in controversy, Anni confronts conspiracy and bigotry with unwavering resolve and historical truths. Florida stands among the 18 states that have implemented laws curbing discussions on race, gender identity, and sexual orientation in classrooms. The "Stop W.O.K.E" Act, enacted in 2022, imposes restrictions on educators, prohibiting teachings that might evoke feelings of guilt or anguish among students regarding their racial heritage. Amidst the legislative maze lies a climate of fear and censorship, with the looming threat of civil liability and job loss haunting educators who dare to challenge the status quo. But behind the façade of legalities lurks a deeper battle fueled by far-right groups, exploiting social media and the church pulpit to wage a religious crusade against perceived adversaries, both real and imagined. In this war, casualties abound, with the church and the fundamental rights of citizens caught in the crossfire. 'Anni challenges White-Nationalism and Anti-Woke sentiment' delves into the heart of a struggle for freedom of expression and the preservation of academic integrity in the face of ideological extremism.
