ITHICA
When your own government wants you dead, is it the end - or the beginning?
Ithica is a darkly comic gay psychological farce set inside the implosion of a secret Australian intelligence agency.
Truth is negotiable. Justice is theatre. Survival is a role you learn to play.
Intelligence analyst Anthea Tonelli watches colleagues disappear - not to foreign enemies, but to their own employer. Corrupt judges. Silent trials. Murderous institutional cruelty. Survival becomes strategy.
Sex is escape. It's also leverage. Protection. Currency.
It threads through offices, bars, safe houses - shaping alliances and sealing outcomes.
As AI accelerates and human control slips, the system turns inward. Anthea must decide what survival costs: resistance - or surrender to the absurd, erotic machinery of power.
Ithica is not a conspiracy novel. Conspiracies only exist when you don't have all the facts.
And yes - it's a comedy.
