Nobody has written a great book on a single idea. Great books are always the condensation of many many ideas one after another. People should stop perpetuating the myth that having an idea is enough to make good books.

>> No.15568071

the concept is a main character who is at some level of a recently established government, which has risen following a revolution against a former dystopian totalitarian government.
main character fought in the war, lost a best friend in the war, which motivated him to win the war and build something better for his lost friend.
but as the book goes on he starts to notice others have similarities in their memories of the revolution, and seemingly everyone lost a best friend in the war motivating them to keep fighting 'evil' and win.
he slowly realizes that his memories of the revolution were false, or planted in his brain somehow. this new government he is part of becomes more and more confusing to him as he realises the motivations for setting it up were brainwashed into everyone.

i hope this makes sense, i just had the idea while drinking a beer in the shower. think kind of orwellian, matrixy with less sci fi. idk. i thought the idea of everyone being convinced they won a revolution against something in order to brainwash them was interesting. there are a lot of concepts i think could go into it

i'll expand some other ideas in it.
the main theme is that instead of quashing revolutions, the ruling class just gives in and gives people what they want, a revolution, just a fake one.
an important part is that although in the end there is a eutopia, it has been masterminded by someone else. same for the main character, he realizes his own drive to do good for all and the means to get there are also masterminded by someone else. essentially synthetic "for the greater good" may have achieved the greater good, but at the cost of the individuals own motivation to do so.

i think the means by which everyone was incepted should be left vague, an unanswerable because it really doesnt matter.
the main character will find out he has not actually fought for anything or earned his postion, its actually quite the opposite, his new position in new world order was given because he was the most easily deceived. the most willing to embrace that he is right, that he fought hard and has earned more.

im thinking a scene in the end where he's somehow addressing the public, knowing all of this and still having to keep in line with the thoughts he truly believed, but knows are fake now, with no idea of who he is, what he was before, and who is in control.

That's great Anon. Your next step is to find literature with the same idea. Then you plagiarise it. Good luck.
