The Trope Chronicles

A political satire trilogy about power, language, and the lie that holds everything together.
Three novels. One system. No heroes.

What This Series Is

The Trope Chronicles examines how power is built—often not through violence, but through language: the slogans, the euphemisms, the “technicalities,” and the controlled silences that make resistance feel naïve.

It follows Rodolfo “El Trope” de Bianco as he learns that truth does not need to be denied in order to be defeated. It only needs to be restructured, delayed, or buried under enough vocabulary to look like policy.

This is not a story about ideology. It is a study of mechanics.

How rhetoric replaces labor.
How silence becomes policy.
How meaning collapses long before institutions do.

The Trilogy

Book One: The Great Glucosated Leap

The Education of Deception

Before power becomes corruption, it becomes language. This first volume traces the apprenticeship: how absurdity—delivered with confidence—graduates into policy.

Book Two: The Useful Silence

The Institutional Phase

There comes a moment when speech stops being freedom and becomes evidence. This volume shows how regimes mature—not by increasing propaganda, but by perfecting silence.

Book Three: The Deconstructor Collapses

The Reckoning

Power has been achieved. The system works. Now it begins to eat itself. The final volume is not redemption. It is an autopsy.
