What happens when a “Utopia” becomes a meme? Explore the hilarious and harrowing world of The Ministry of Utopias.
Description: In a city of holographic rainbows and cloud-seeded glitter, Tariq Al-Asmar is a relic: a man who still believes that two plus two equals four. As Deputy Director of Reality Audits, he is tasked with maintaining the facade of a perfect society. But the facade is peeling—literally.
From the “Smile Building” to the sinking “Empathy Island,” author Buraq takes readers on a journey through a bureaucracy held together by illicit tea and weaponized spreadsheets. As the Ministry attempts to launch an AI-driven “Dome of Euphoria,” Tariq must navigate a landscape of “synergy dividends” and “kinetic joy-vectors” to save his own sanity.
The Ministry of Utopias is a global satire that speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost in a sea of corporate buzzwords. It is a story about the resilience of the human spirit in the face of mandated happiness and the “spin of the century.”
Hichem Karoui brings a unique, cross-cultural perspective to this tale of modern ambition gone wrong. This is not just a story about a fictional Principality; it is a mirror held up to our own “hyper-saturated attention economy.”
