Divided We Fall

An Anthology of Today's Politics

By: B Alan Bourgeois

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What happens when the truth is no longer enough—and stories are all that’s left to fight tyranny? Divided We Fall: Operation Neverland is a cerebral, thrilling, and audacious entry in the anthology that imagines a near-future America spiraling into authoritarianism. In this mind-bending tale, a covert trio of operatives weaponizes nostalgia itself, planting psychological triggers into beloved animated classics to unravel the fractured psyche of a dangerously unstable president. As the fairy tales roll, reality bends—and democracy itself teeters on the edge of madness.

Told through shifting perspectives—covert agents, a crumbling commander-in-chief, and the unknowing family members caught in the crossfire—this short story is both dystopian satire and a cautionary tale. Author B. Alan Bourgeois doesn’t just hold a mirror to society; he shatters it and shows us what’s behind the glass. With echoes of Orwell, Black Mirror, and political theater, Operation Neverland asks an unshakable question: If perception shapes power, who gets to tell the tale?

REVIEW:
Divided We Fall: Chronicles from a Tumultuous Presidency is a linked cycle of near-future political novellas that collectively map the rise and collapse of an authoritarian U.S. administration. From evangelical power brokers anointing a “chosen” president to a shadowy oligarch weaponizing a government “efficiency” department, a secret citizenship purge, and a congressman’s assassination at his daughter’s quinceañera, each story captures a different flash point in a slow-motion democratic breakdown.

Anchored by coders, whistleblowers, civil servants, and families caught in the crossfire, the book blends tech thriller, legal drama, and protest narrative into an accessible, fast-moving chronicle of how power can be abused—and how ordinary people can still fight back. The villains are broad by design and the politics unapologetically pointed, but the collection excels at making abstract issues visceral and emotionally legible. Readers who appreciate urgent, issue-driven fiction about Christian nationalism, disinformation, and resistance movements will find this a gripping, unsettling, and ultimately hopeful read; those seeking escapism or ideological neutrality may find it overwhelming.
