This really hits the core issue I keep writing about: democracy can’t survive when a handful of corporations control both wealth and information. At that point, it’s not left vs. right anymore — it’s people vs. power. If we don’t break up this grip, no amount of elections or speeches will restore trust. The real test now isn’t saving democracy from one politician — it’s proving democracy still works for ordinary people.
Q - Why did you choose to write such a political novel, and has your work in activism influenced your fiction?
A - Today we live in a world that is hermetically corporatized and monopolized, a world with close to zero choice and a world that is only growing darker. As my novel is about a group of fed-up activists that starts assassinating billionaires in order to draw attention to the misery and death their corporatization and monopolization inflicts upon humanity, yes, I would say my career in activism influences my fiction. And if a comic novel about a billionaire hit list brings attention to the wealth disparity crisis, this real life holocaust of which billionaires are the grinning poster boys, then I will have achieved my goal.
