Alexander Skikos
I had a great teacher in high school who taught science fiction. Like everyone else in 2016, I was saturated with political discussion, and I started to wonder about our future. I was witnessing cliques being formed in my school based on political beliefs and the hysteria building as the media basically told us every day about how we are doomed. I submitted the first draft of All Roads Lead to Nowhere to the teacher. He said it was awful, but he also said that I had potential. He told me the one thing my story lacked was a purpose, a reason for someone to read it. Throughout college, I studied the relations between media and politics and the history of how media was used for political advantage. Studying the relationship between media and politics and living through the political strife during those four years, I was able to create a world that reflected what I believe will occur if we continue to use media as a weapon for political gain rather than the honest middleman between government and citizen it was designed to be.
