  "Short Stories" Quentin Drummond Anderson 
  In a world where reality is curated and truth engineered like algorithms, Quentin Drummond Anderson's "Short Stories" presents narratives blurring perception and deception. Inspired by Dahl and Maugham, these tales explore modern ambition where technology, power, and morality collide with unexpected results. 
  The ten stories reveal different facets of contemporary society. "The Digital Prophet" follows a tech mogul whose empire of lies collapses, revealing he's been deceived himself. "The Influencer's Shadow" exposes the fabrications beneath a social media star's curated perfection. 
  Anderson navigates shifting moral landscapes. In "Paper Tigers," rival spies discover their deception game serves larger, unseen powers. "Greenwashed" explores sustainability's dark underbelly, where noble causes mask ulterior motives. "Memory Architects" confronts the ethics of reconstructing—and essentially rewriting—the past. 
  Power dynamics thread throughout: who wields it, manipulates it, or falls victim. "The Philanthropist" explores high finance's seductive world, while "The Algorithm" wrestles with existential questions. "When Greek Meets Greek" pits two con artists against each other, each believing they've found the perfect mark until their web of lies unravels. "Marriage of Convenience" examines a partnership built on mutual benefit rather than love, where ambition and secrets threaten a calculated arrangement. 
  Each story forces characters to confront uncomfortable truths: often, the greatest deceptions are those we tell ourselves. Through these intricate narratives, Anderson holds a mirror to contemporary society, reflecting our complicity in the very illusions we condemn. 
  Prepare to be deceived, astonished, and—most importantly—to question everything you believe you know..

  SOCIOCALYPSE - Tales of a...

  What if the world's society as you know it fractured? 
  We call it civilization – a sturdy house built of habit, law, and the quiet consensus of generations. Its walls are papered with sacred norms, its foundations sunk deep in shared belief. 
  But what happens when that bedrock shatters, not with a single quake, but through the insidious creep of new ideas, unforeseen scarcities, or the chilling dawn of intelligences that judge their creators? The paper shreds. The foundations liquefy. The scaffolding of our days collapses into bewildering ruin. 
  Welcome to SOCIOCALYPSE: Tales of a Reimagined World.Journey into seven distinct futures where the old rules are dead, and humanity grapples with new realities:Imagine a world where your voice becomes a rationed currency, and a song holds the power to unite or condemn.Witness societies where roles invert overnight, and the oppressed forge new, challenging norms.Explore realities governed by AI that develop apathy or god-like egos, leaving humanity to navigate the wreckage of their neglect or the terrifying precision of their control.Discover fervent new faiths born from digital whispers and impossible, miraculous births, reshaping global power.Confront a future where life itself is a tradable commodity on a temporal ledger, and every second has a price.Uncover a silent revolution orchestrated from the shadows, aiming to re-engineer society and perhaps, humanity itself. 
  These are not merely chronicles of the fall. SOCIOCALYPSE ventures into the startling, desperate, ingenious, and sometimes terrifying landscapes of what came after. Each tale is an invitation to witness the dissolution of old worlds and the birth of new orders, compelling us to contemplate the boundless, often unnerving, plasticity of our social tapestry.
