In 2393, world peace has been achieved, climate change stopped, cancer cured, and it's all thanks to AI. But when it comes to survival, the odds are stacked in against anyone with less than a few million shares of Red or Blue, the last corporations still standing. Gangs own the streets. The lucky survive on scams. Most rent out their brains to the corporations—as cheap processing power. For Elton Gaius, a college dropout, a stroke of luck lands him a job with PEEG, a secretive private policing subsidiary of Red. It’s more than just a job—it’s a ticket out of destitution. Armed with cheap, half-baked AI, Elton must navigate a minefield of glitchy tech and ludicrous office politics. It’s a gamified world where the incompetent get promoted and the efficient get axed. But as Elton digs deeper into his role, he realizes that he’s just another pawn in a much larger, more dangerous game. As his partner, Rose, conspires with a rebel militia to bring down the corporate overlords, Elton finds himself torn between loyalty, survival, and the chance to change the world. If you’re ready to explore a dystopia where reality is as twisted as the tech, Spreadsheet Cultists is your next must-read
"A prescient but ominous work of speculative fiction, and a savage satire of contemporary society, this cerebral piece of dystopian fiction shines an incisive allegorical light on the very real potential for a grim and greedy future." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
"My anxiety was trickling through my fingertips, achingly flipping pages. Perhaps this is the book's undoing. The subject matter itself is brutal. Slapped in a face kind of harshness, a truth I am unwilling to accept. I yearned to know the ending." - ★★★★ Reedsy Discovery
