Bubblequake

The year is 2180, and former Senator Jim Liu has switched parties and is now running for president as a Republican. Battling chronic pain, he faces an uphill election battle as his resistance to joining World War Four puts him at odds with most members of his party. Things get more complicated when Jim's long lost sociopathic brother surfaces, he receives an ear in the mail, and many of the bubbles that America relies on for food, housing, and industry are destroyed in a cascading bubblequake. Adding to the mystery and confusion, strange blue individuals, speaking an unfamiliar language, emerge from an unregistered bubble, leaving society in bewildered disarray.
