Mirror Maze

By Ryan Davison

Subliminal persuasion while the world drowns.

As an ad copywriter, Frank earns his living manipulating people's opinions. Hired to use his talent help a politician he hates win a presidential election, can his own mind be rebeling? His true love calls him to reclaim his own consciousness.

A near-future, dystopian science fiction short story about:

Global warming/climate change

Capitalism

Consumerism

Subliminal persuasion and influence, especially in advertising

How explicit images in advertizing haunt and influence our imaginations

Environmental physical pollution

Mental/emotional pollution

The vast amounts of packaging and other waste our society throws away

Political campaign advertising

If you've ever felt frustrated over the refusal of people to lower their materialistic lifestyles for the good of the planet . . .

Or if you've ever felt frustrated because no matter how hard you work, how much money you make, you're still not happy . . .

Or if you've ever felt your mind influenced against your will by advertising . . .

You can relate to Mirror Maze.

I've used a sort of semi-stream of consciousness style to convey the emotional collapse of the main character. As an advertising copywriter, he writes the ads, but is even more influenced by their words and images than the average person.

Despite being one of the manipulators, he's as caught in the 'mirror maze' of our modern narcissistic society as any of us.
