Deep dives
A Dystopian City Divided
The story is set in a futuristic city called Bubble City, where a massive domed utopia exists, free from crime and want. However, just outside the dome is the uninhabited zone, a slum filled with mutated figures, crime, and racial hatred. The Bubble City Police Department (BCPD) is tasked with policing the zone to protect the bubble's rule. This serves as a satire of police media, copaganda, and societal structures, targeting economics, crypto, fascism, woke language, AI, communications, and social media.
