Omschrijving
What if every hero you've ever cheered for was a lie?
Heroes & Damages exposes the machinery behind modern heroism, where superpowers have become commodified products and human suffering is algorithmically optimized for profit. Through eight visceral stories spanning the globe, this collection follows heroes, victims, and whistleblowers as they discover that every rescue is staged, every tragedy is calculated, and hope itself has been weaponized by surveillance capitalism.
A telekinetic discovers her management company manufactures the disasters she prevents. A precognitive hero realizes his visions are artificially manipulated to misdirect resources from real attacks. An intern with healing powers becomes complicit in corporate torture programs. A teenage speedster learns his entire legacy was genetically engineered for compliance.
From corporate boardrooms where heroes are discussed like stock options to underground therapy sessions for superhero collateral damage, these interconnected tales reveal a world where moral certainty dissolves into psychological horror and the cost of heroism is measured in broken minds and commodified trauma.
This is literary horror that asks the unthinkable: what happens when heroism becomes a product, and who pays the real price for salvation?
Enter a world where saving people is the ultimate crime.
