After the environment collapses, humanity lives in a sealed, luxury shopping mall a thousand miles across. It seems like a paradise, but Mallworld’s greedy oligarchs subjugate the people through overwork, overconsumption, and bloody spectacles. Jime Galilei is a cynical, failing everyman who discovers his empathy, rejects bread-and-circus consumerism, and ignites a political revolution to revive democracy, community, and a green earth. In this book of political theory written as a fictional dystopia, Mallworld, Incorporated tries to answer the question, “How can we build a better world when society shapes our very individuality to exploit us?” For more details, see my Books page.
