THE FICTION OF IDEAS

In the context of a futuristic dystopia in which individualism and free thought is seen as an affront to society, ideas are often dangerous and revolutionary in nature. To think and formulate ideas is to go against the comforts and stability of the hivemind. Often the peoples of these self-indulgent empires have been lulled into a sense of complacency, their minds dulled from neglect, to the point in which any deviance from the norm is profoundly upsetting. Rydra explores new ideas within the context of her field as a writer but that evolves into terror and sedition as she investigates the origins of the mysterious language. As a mind reader, she has keen insight to the human psyche and it's her profession of a writer that, in a more romantic sense, represents the power of language by placing her in a position where she has total command over it.
