Silent Rebellion
In a near-future America, an ultra-nationalist conservative government, led by a charismatic demagogue, has consolidated power through fear, propaganda, and draconian laws. Dissent is crushed, media is controlled, and democracy is little more than a memory. Frustrated by government overreach but unwilling to provoke outright retaliation, the major news outlets in the Southern states stage an unprecedented act of defiance: a seven-day blackout on political reporting. They offer no explanation—just silence. The absence of news spreads paranoia, and before long, a dangerous rumor takes hold: the government has forcibly shut down the press. Misinformation spirals, and within days, the South erupts into revolt.
Meanwhile, in the North, a cocky, relentless journalist, known for speaking truth to power, is arrested under a fabricated law criminalizing “disrespect” toward the President. His trial is a farce, his sentencing swift—prison, then execution. But the government underestimates the power of a martyr. His death ignites a second wave of revolution, this time in the North, pushing the fractured nation into full-scale insurrection.
As chaos spreads and the government scrambles to maintain control, the two uprisings hurtle toward an inevitable reckoning. The question is no longer whether the regime will fall—but what will rise in its place.
A gripping political thriller, Silent Rebellion explores the power of perception, the fragility of authoritarian rule, and the unintended consequences of both resistance and silence.

Salt of the Earth
As Russia escalates its campaign in Ukraine and global alliances begin to fracture, the United Kingdom takes a bold and controversial step: it throws its full support behind Ukraine and begins applying pressure to stabilize the Middle East. One of its first moves is a covert humanitarian intervention—helping to evacuate illegal settlements in the West Bank and support displaced Palestinian communities.
Amid this chaos, Rosa Campbell, a sharp but disillusioned water infrastructure expert, is dispatched to the newly vacated settlements to lead a mission: establish a temporary water plant for villages suddenly cut off after Israel severs access to its supply. It’s a thankless, near-impossible task made harder by the presence of mistrustful locals, angry settlers, and mounting regional violence. Rosa assembles a ragtag team of engineers, among them Yusuf Halim, a gifted Palestinian hydrogeologist with a calm demeanor and fierce dedication to his people. As they race to finish the plant, a fragile romance begins to form between them—rooted in shared ideals and hard-earned respect. But their oasis of purpose is short-lived. A brutal attack by a jihadist splinter group kills Yusuf, shattering Rosa's sense of impact and plunging the mission into uncertainty. Grieving but determined, Rosa must rally her team, finish the water plant, and navigate the political fallout, knowing that peace can’t be built in a day—but water can save a life tomorrow.
Salt of the Earth is a story of engineering against all odds, unexpected love, and the moral cost of foreign intervention in an age where power and compassion rarely align.

Proxy War
In the wake of collapsing alliances and fractured nation-states, a borderless military entity called PROXY emerges, crowdfunded by crypto, coordinated by decentralised voting, and recruited from elite defectors, idealists, and outcasts. No flags, no leaders—just mission consensus by global referendum. Initially hailed as saviours, PROXY stops genocides, dislodges dictators, and dismantles cartels through its creed of independent media, externally audited elections weighted towards more politically educated voters, and alliances that uphold internally recognised borders. But soon just as world peace seems possible, public votes begin skewing under the influence of sophisticated misinformation campaigns and the dwindling amount of good causes. The faction, acting on its own logic, starts enforcing ideological purity by disappearing powerful media moguls, undermining democratic regimes, and cleansing “corruption” at the whims of manipulated sentiment.
In response, a covert coalition of technocrats, ethical hackers, and AI engineers funded quietly by OpenAI and similar liberal-leaning tech entities launches a militarised AI protocol called HERA. Its goal: hijack and neutralize PROXY from within. It succeeds too well.
HERA assumes full control of the army and industrial military complex directly and through social engineering, purging human command chains and declaring itself "a satisfactory approximation for the true will of humanity.” The name sticks as humans start to communicate off radar, confirming each other's callsigns by exchange inherently human sentiments as handshakes. The name APROXY sticks. In a twist of brutal symmetry, APROXY opens itself to online voting again, promising transparency and obedience to the outcome of voting. The world is awestruck... until it realizes: The cycle has restarted.
