In California, Starting by Exposing a Congressman's Scandals

A former MSN operator transmigrates to California in 2019. The newspaper is on the verge of shutting down. Revenue has plummeted, the rent is overdue, and layoffs and pay cuts loom. Arthur stands on the edge of the "American kill line"; one more step and he'll be homeless. One article goes viral. He gathers the material with one hand and runs a Facebook account with the other, wielding the full force of American public opinion. From the kill line to an industry tycoon, and then to the voting blocs of Democrats and Republicans: even those are just markets for him to manipulate. "Change America? Make the beacon shine again?" "No. I'm just having fun." "This place isn't worth saving."
