WWIII will be fought for your mind
It's the near
future. Only the powerful have oil. America uses forbidden mind
control technology to keep productivity up and crime down, at the
price of no longer producing any art or culture, beyond the art of
war.
In downtown
Shanghai, an area blocks-wide around the headquarters of the People's
Liberation Army hacking unit, one million people simultaneous commit
suicide after going into a trance.
Two unmanned
aircraft are hijacked and used to bomb military and strategic targets
in Alaska, which starts a giant forest fire. It's a lot warmer in the
future. Alaska is more populated.
Two young Canadian
men, Terran and Newman, make the dangerous decision to defend their
Yukon homes against an unknown invading force that has crept through
Alaska.
The invading force
appears to be "mixed Russians, mostly Chechens."
But with no oil,
there's no machinery, no trade, it's difficult to supply a militia,
or a rebel army for that matter. Everybody is running out of
bullets...
Terran and Newman
face strange forces in a weird paranoid world, sometimes it's
difficult to tell whether or not things are real.
They find corpses
as they walk empty, overgrown roads to the Battle at Beaver Creek.
They arrive just
in time to find the unnamed Russian force charging in.
Men have to fight
with sticks and rocks, it's ugly.
Suddenly, everyone
freezes up, going into a trance.
The American MKUS
unit has arrived.
Giant
Supersoldiers are in charge setting diminutive clones into action
separating the "good" guys from the "bad" guys,
as best they can.
As the sun goes
down, McKintry, towering over everyone else, has a philosophical
conversation about war and choice with Terran, who is suspiciously
able to communicate while everyone else is frozen.
McKintry concludes
the "Canadian" must be an American defector or a spy.
When Terran and
Newman wake the next morning, along with the remaining men on the
battlefield, they decide to go home, angry that they can't remember
what happened.
Although Terran
has a pretty good idea...
American
satellites continue to control from above...
