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.
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.
Across three books, The Trope Chronicles maps the life cycle of a modern regime: how it is invented, how it is managed, and how it eventually collapses under its own vocabulary. The trilogy is set in Bianco, a country where public life is rewritten through slogans, procedural language, and polite institutional theater. Rodolfo “El Trope” begins as an ordinary participant, but he becomes the system’s most useful instrument—first by learning how to speak, then by learning when not to.
Book One, The Great Glucosated Leap, follows the apprenticeship: the moment absurdity stops being a joke and becomes a method. Book Two, The Useful Silence, shows the institutional phase, when silence becomes policy and truth becomes a liability. Book Three, The Deconstructor Collapses, delivers the reckoning: not a redemption story, but an autopsy of power in its final form. If you enjoy political satire that treats language as machinery—something that can be engineered, weaponized, and quietly normalized— this series is designed to unsettle, entertain, and leave a residue that lingers after the last page.
