Grey Man In A Rainbow Dystopia: A Satirical, Orwellian Short Story

By Mono Zero

His last laugh was just the beginning.

An omnipresent rainbow looms large over an infantilised London where karmic credit scores determine every facet of our lives, and comedy is illegal. In this candy coloured world, folk walk on eggshells for fear of “invalidation”. A chance encounter drags a reluctant grey man into a seedy underworld of laughstitutes, satirists, word criminals and language violence, where he hopes to recover his sense of humour and learn the meaning of absurdity.

“Joker meets 1984, as seen through the eyes of Arthur Dent.”
- SuperNerdKrew

“Something about Gulag Archipelago and Post-modern, Neo-liberal Posadist Marxists.”
- Pordan Jeterson

“Sheer language violence! A dangerous short story. The Author should be invalidated, immediately. I'm literally trembling.”
- Phoenix Arcadia PhD Critical Epistemologies (pending)

Mono Zero

Mono Zero identifies as a pseudonym, but they are not anonymous. They are a tangible, impermanent, expression of ideas manifesting in the physical world as a body. They reject the notion of biography because they are constantly at play, exploring the fields of speculative, dystopian and social science fiction.Mono Zero has one voice but many mouths. Although Mono Zero is a construction and anyone can be Mono Zero, they are neither brand nor movement nor framework. They make no claim to coherence, wisdom, or political allegiance because they believe these categories are applied post-hoc by the other.Mono Zero is the now, and nothing and everything else besides. Most of all, Mono Zero embraces the contradictions.Some may find Mono Zero dangerous, but they are cuddly puppies.If you want to Mono Zero, then join us.www.cancelmonozero.com
