Reality™ 2048: Watching Big Mother

An inquisitive woman goes through the dreary motions of life in a not too distant Los Angeles that has lost its vivacity. Vera escapes her hollow world through a deep search within herself to avoid a deluge of commercial infotainment. She gradually develops the capacity for independent thought, falls in love, and must then avoid a seductive technology that could render her catatonic. This post-Orwellian dystopian thriller explores how the truth drowns in a sea of alternative facts, verified information, and sensationalized politics. Instead of deprivation, censorship and doublespeak of 1984, we see a future where corporations and political elites fuel vapid consumerism and control individual thought through a barrage of advertising, propaganda, and addictive entertainment streamed directly into computer brain implants.
