Chloroform Wars by Dan Uselton

Chloroform Wars: They Didn’t Cheer for Her. They Cheered for the Spectacle by Dan Uselton The camera never blinks. The truth never airs. In a future where traditional values are law and dissent is quietly erased, televised obedience is the last form of control. The word feminism has vanished. No one speaks of equality anymore—only “harmony.” Each week, girls and boys battle live on national TV, reenacting old rivalries for a hungry audience. But when childhood best friends are pitted against each other, the spectacle threatens to unravel. Beneath the flash of lights and roar of the crowd, real resistance begins. For Ryker Vale, the show was just a way out. For Rhea, it’s a trap—and a platform. Together, they might turn the network’s cruelty into its own undoing. A provocative dystopian debut for fans of Black Mirror and The Hunger Games, Chloroform Wars is a razor-sharp look at gender, power, and performance. amazon.com/dp/B0FBLQP1LG
