Glitch Revolution

Grenbaud’s first great novel

The entertainment industry is completely controlled by a single mega-corporation, dubbed “Big Bro”. Through its networks it has created a lazy and individualistic mentality: the network manipulates the public to push them to purchase and accumulate expensive and useless products. Now no one leaves the house anymore, all people do is buy online, without ever taking their eyes off computer and television screens. The media superpower of Big Bro has only one enemy: a group of five young rebels who calls themselves Glitch. Nobody knows who they are, each of them has a battle name and a particular talent that they express using high-tech costumes and tools. From the stage, the group’s frontman, Bode, launches his denunciation to the rhythm of rap. The five organise unauthorised shows in always different places, where they urge the girls and boys who follow them to rebel. At the end of the show, they vanish into thin air. Until one night, something unexpected happens. When Big Bro’s drones interrupt the show, a follower on the run risks her life and the Glitches, who never interact with their fans in order to protect themselves, are forced for once to intervene to save her.

In a world where people are hypnotised en masse by the media, the only message of rebellion comes from a group of five children.
