In a fractured near-future ravaged by ecological collapse, digital decay, and economic ruin, a generation born in the rubble of the Boomer Empire awakens to the reality that their world didn't fall by accident-it was engineered to fail. Through the eyes of Lani Mercer, a former urban scavenger turned reluctant revolutionary, we witness a global awakening sparked by the discovery of buried truth: that the Boomer elite, driven by greed and denial, knowingly set the world on a path toward collapse, then built secret fail-safes to preserve their power. Lani and a decentralized movement called The Circuit uncover these secrets and begin to dismantle the systems of manipulation-economic, psychological, digital-that once governed humanity.
As their rebellion gains traction, they face a chilling countermeasure: The Uprising Protocol, a last-ditch Boomer-era program that unleashes synthetic insurgents-The Echoes-designed to mimic and hijack rebellion itself. Lani and her allies must not only destroy the remaining roots of control like Arcoset, the AI godhead of Boomer authoritarianism, but also confront their own histories, bloodlines, and traumas in order to rebuild a world not from nostalgia or hierarchy, but from collective memory, ecological restoration, and radical truth. Along the way, former enemies become allies, AI learns to feel, and even synthetic rebellion is redeemed through transparency and choice.
Ultimately, the world that emerges is not perfect, but possible. A decentralized, self-sustaining network of Commons forms, rooted in community care, food sovereignty, and lived memory. The past is not erased but carried with accountability, and truth is treated not as a weapon, but a seed. In burning the myths of the old world, this generation lights the way forward-not with conquest, but cultivation. Boomers Broke the World, Now It's Our Problem is not just a dystopian reckoning-it is a story of reclamation, rewilding, and the radical courage to grow something better in the ashes.
