Work 1 - Description
It’s now 2089, several decades after civil war has divided America into a Blue socialist dictatorship on the coasts, and the still-free Red flyover country. The woke “Diversity Justice Republic,” a vassal state of China, uses a social credit system that doles out preferential access to food, housing, vacations, and transportation. High credit elites live in luxury, while low credit types live in dormitories, and scramble for crumbs. “Plores,” or Deplorables, are segregated from Crediteers and are forced to do menial work to survive. Gun ownership and Christian preaching are now capital crimes.
Malia is illegally reading the dangerous old books she safeguards from the public as a librarian. She stumbles into a relationship with David, a powerful Antifan Defense Forces commander, whose own Deplorable background distances him from the woke culture. David vows to find Malia's daughter, taken from her years ago by the authorities. The Antifans push Malia into the orbit of sinister bureaucrats conducting lethal experiments on low Social Crediteers under direction from Beijing, even as they try to separate her from David.
