Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Do you think your vote actually matters? Think again. It's not "the will of the people" running the show-it's an algorithm. Nick was the star poli-sci student who still believed in the "analog circuit breakers" of democracy. He defended the Electoral College as the last firewall against mob chaos. But when he steps onto a private island where the global elite gather in secret, theory turns into blood-soaked practice. Here, amid obscene luxury and digital sterility, Nick discovers the ugly truth: modern politics isn't a clash of ideas-it's a closed-circuit aquarium. Transparency isn't honesty here; it's the complete absence of a private life. "Safety" isn't protection-it's total control. And citizens? They're just pixels in the game the island's "gods" play, manipulating reality with AI and razor-sharp cynicism. When Nick is turned into the system's chief "narrative architect," he realizes he's built his own prison. He's no longer a spectator-he's prey in the final spectacle, his death live-streamed between cat videos and bikini ads. "Backstage" is intellectual horror that dissects the machinery of power. It's a mirror you're afraid to look into-because what you see isn't a citizen. It's an inhabitant of a glass cage whose life is worth no more than a number on a tablet screen. Are you ready to find out who really holds the remote to your world? This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
