Hello, I'm a creative director who never expected to become a literary voice against fascism, yet here I am in 2025, using satire as my tool of choice in an increasingly dystopian world I never thought I'd witness in my lifetime. My name is Perry Andropolis, and I've spent years in hospitality operating award-winning diners, crafting immersive digital experiences which included developing my own custom interactive magazine UI for Smart TV consumption (ie, 2012) that has allowed people nationally and globally to discover and enjoy from afar the top resort area where I live. Through this digital platform, I've connected with audiences across 1000’s of cities worldwide, learning firsthand the power of engaging storytelling and interactive media to reach hearts and minds.
I've always been considered creative in the broadest sense—from writing poetry to chasing various patents, with countless projects in between. This diverse creative foundation led me to establish Uncubed Studio™, my product and process innovation studio, where I serve as creative director. It's here that I've honed my ability to see connections others miss, to identify patterns in chaos, and to translate complex ideas into accessible, engaging formats.
But as I watched our political landscape grow increasingly surreal, I found myself positioned and motivated to document and satirize the absurdity through fiction that (now) feels uncomfortably close to reality. My experience in digital media, combined with my lifelong affection for satire, including notes I saved in dozens of notebooks, this and growing concern for my daughters' future, compelled me to channel my creative energy into something far more urgent than traditional entertainment. This all led to my first book series. Created with an embedded call-to-action.
The Political Lust Series: When Fiction Mirrors Reality
What emerged from this creative evolution is the Political Lust Series—a two-book satirical exploration that numerous early readers have suggested would make a compelling streaming series. This isn't just entertainment; it's a biting critique of contemporary American politics and society, designed to challenge perspectives, provoke thought, and inspire change.
Book One: Embrace The Lies
The series begins with "Embrace The Lies," which serves as both introduction and warning. Set in Noah Philter's twisted world of golf and politics, this prelude explores what happens when unchecked personal freedom leads to chaos and corruption. Readers witness Noah's attempts to rebrand the Republican Party into the aristocracy-fetishizing "1864 Monocle Party," while following Wallabie Richman's struggles with unethical business practices.
The book includes a unique 10,000-word series encyclopedia, providing readers with everything they need to navigate this satirical universe—from political parties that shouldn't exist to characters whose actions mirror our most troubling headlines. The infamous sinkhole incident with Noah Philter and Senator Ronson serves as both comedy and metaphor for the moral vacuum consuming our political landscape.
Book Two: Embrace The Viruses
"Embrace The Viruses" represents the more expansive and hard-hitting installment, delving deeper into the consequences of societal negligence and the spread of dangerous ideologies. Here, the narrative explores how misinformation, fascism, and corporate greed can spread like viruses through society, threatening to undermine the very fabric of American democracy.
The story centers on the Inadequit Healthcare System and a potentially catastrophic gene-editing treatment, blurring the lines between biological and ideological contagions. This wild ride includes Mother Nature's fury, constitutional scrambles, Project 2025, and teenagers upset about their fathers' roles in creating the mess they've inherited.
Perhaps most significantly, the book features an epic battle for the GOP's soul between the 1864 Monocle Party and the even more regressive 1724 Kingservative Party—a satirical examination of how extremism can always find new depths.
I feel, what makes this series particularly compelling—and occasionally unsettling—is how it shakes, stirs, and fuses reality into biting dystopian satire. While explicitly fictional, with clear disclaimers about not making accusations against real individuals or organizations, the work poses a haunting question: "Is the real world mimicking this book, or vice versa?"
The scenarios, while purely imaginative constructs designed for entertainment, feel scary in their proximity to our current reality. This political absurdity concept—where fiction and fact dance uncomfortably close—serves as both the series' strength and its warning.
Beyond Entertainment: A Call to Action
The Political Lust Series transcends traditional satirical entertainment by serving as an explicit call to action. Through the voices of narrators Fred and Lova, readers are urged to embrace critical thinking and active citizenship in our increasingly complex world. The series doesn't just critique—it empowers.
The books issue a serious call to action for readers to vote, combat misinformation, engage in civil discourse, and participate actively in the democratic process. The message is clear: your vote matters, and the future lies in our hands. This connects directly to themes of youth activism and positive change, recognizing that we must be our own heroes.
The Birth of New Heroes
Perhaps most importantly, the series gives birth to a new generation of superheroes—not the cape-wearing variety, but young people armed with "infinity" money and the determination to bend the arc of history back toward positive evolution. These aren't traditional heroes; they're the next generation refusing to accept the dystopian world their elders have created.
My perspective.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of conversing with tens of thousands of people from all walks of life, with diverse perspectives and opinions. From all the stories i heard, the hopes, and fears, I sensed that most desire a life free from strife and filled with understanding has become the true inspiration behind my work.
Looking Forward:
Looking backwards over my experiences and skill sets, I'm now considering a new multi-media effort to do my part to help counter the systematic assault on democratic discourse. The suggestion from early readers that this satirical universe would translate well to streaming television has me exploring the potential for visual storytelling to reach even broader audiences.
The Political Lust Series offers rich material for an engaging streaming series—complex characters navigating absurd situations that mirror our reality, political intrigue that would make "House of Cards" seem quaint, and social commentary wrapped in humor that could rival "The Daily Show" or "Last Week Tonight."
My journey from creative director to satirical author to potential multi-media represents more than career evolution—it's a response to a historical moment that demands all of us use whatever skills we possess to defend democracy. Whether through interactive digital experiences, published satire, or streaming content, the mission remains the same: to wake people up, make them laugh, make them think, and ultimately inspire them to act. And VOTE in the mid-terms if the structure holds until then.
In a world where reality has become stranger than fiction, perhaps satirical fiction is our best hope for making sense of it all—and for inspiring the change we desperately need.
