Lord of the World

A near-future dystopia depicts a global secular order consolidated under a charismatic, technocratic authority that marginalizes traditional religion. The narrative follows religious leaders, political actors, and believers as they respond to social engineering, political repression, and mounting international crises that move toward catastrophic, apocalyptic outcomes. Interwoven episodes trace institutional struggle, personal devotion, and moral compromise, while the work examines tensions between faith and materialist ideology, the ethical costs of centralised power, and the prophetic implications of a society that discards transcendence for utilitarian control.
