Abstract

This creative thesis is a dystopic political commentary in the form of a short story cycle, following a fictional, futuristic country called "AllMerica" through several decades as it falls deeper and deeper into chaos. Each story revolves around a central theme connected to politics and the fall of society as it has been described in both historical and fictional texts. My aim is to encourage the reader to reflect upon where creeping totalitarianism and other infringements on individual freedom have positioned us presently, and where they could continue to lead society as a whole.
