SynopsisThe Dystopian Novel Heir to the Throne of Classics such as Brave New World, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451...Song lyrics included in story line!After World War II, Canada, America, and Mexico organized under one government - Northwest Continent (NWC). As the superpower of the world, NWC upheld a crucial role in the Order of Continents, a global peacekeeping organization, which set the NWC currency, the NWC Note as the reserve currency of the world.Eventually, the power of NWC's military and capitalist economy revealed corruption and greed after decades of consolidation in every industry aided by global war racketeering for business interests. Powerful monopolies, oligopolies, and global corporations spawned out of NWC by the 21st century. Nowadays, the vast majority, if not all of the highest courts and government officials of NWC are bribed by the lobby groups of powerful banks and corporations. This is evident through the surplus of laws passed which benefit the banks and corporations, and the military which serves their global interests, while the NWC citizens are brainwashed to be used for stimulating the economy, used for wars overseas, and are kept in line by the most technologically advanced government on the planet.The majority of Northwest Continentals remain oblivious to the corruption and crimes against humanity despite the direct effects on their lives in the forms of falling standards of living, growing economic inequality, constant war, and escalating social issues like racism, drug abuse, gang violence, crime, and mental illnesses. Of those who are aware of the brainwashing, war, and population control, they are too afraid to speak out for it is futile to do so, because most NWC citizens still remain oblivious or become aggressive when they are told the truth... and those who speak out are often silenced - permanently. Only the rest of the world seems to notice the NWC citizens are brainwashed into consumerism, war, obedience, and complacency by a garbage education system, an addiction filled social scene, the media, and other brainwashing methods; unfortunately, the NWC citizens are the ones who must awaken in order for the world to not self-destruct.Aster Ios is only 18, but he has just figured all of this out with a little help from his economics and history teachers and some research on the computer. Aster is incapable of going along with what everyone else seems to either not notice or not care about. He knows the only way of bringing upon change is creating awareness and starting a mass movement. But how can a high school student convince the people he cares about, let alone hundreds of millions of people they are brainwashed into supporting a fascist government which is threatening to end the world - without coming off crazy? Aster uses one of the ways used to brainwash the citizens in the first place - the media. As a senior soon to graduate, after years of a lack of focus in school, marijuana smoking, drinking, partying, and a legendary lysergic acid (LSD) trip with his friends, Aster becomes a talented poet and songwriter; and after a group brawl with the local, drug-trafficking gang, the gang's leader Bamien, who is a gifted musician and producer, starts making music with Aster. Their music, the lyrics of which are included in the story, is instantly popular in their hometown, and their first album becomes so influential they bring upon an intense, climactic moment greater than any other in history - attracting enemies from the most powerful institutions on the planet.
