Dystopian
The Six Sentinels
Dystopian is a dark speculative novel set inside a future Nation where truth is manufactured, memory is controlled, and every citizen is forced to live inside the story the regime has written for them.
Jion Wurnars is a visual tooler at Filmskrript Prime, one of the Nation’s most powerful propaganda engines. His job is to cut, reshape, and falsify reality until lies become official truth. To the outside world, he is just another obedient Natizen. But beneath the surface, Jion is haunted by impossible visions of past and future lives, fragments of a reality that should not exist.
As a hidden war breaks open between the Nation and the Dark Underground, Jion discovers he may not be an ordinary citizen at all. He is something older, stranger, and more dangerous: an anomaly whose existence could fracture the system from within.
Dystopian is a story of power, propaganda, resistance, and the terrifying question of what remains when a society loses control of truth itself.
The Six Sentinels is a political and philosophical work about a world trapped inside failing systems — capitalism, inequality, weakened democracy, social division, and the collapse of public trust.
At its centre is a search for another path. Rather than accepting the old choices between broken markets and broken states, The Six Sentinels imagines a new framework for society: one built around fairness, responsibility, collective survival, and the protection of human dignity.
Blending social critique, political imagination, and speculative thinking, Shan Iyer explores what happens when ordinary people begin to question the systems that shape their lives — and what kind of future might become possible if those systems are rebuilt.
The Six Sentinels is for readers interested in political ideas, post-capitalist futures, democracy, social change, and the urgent question of what comes after the world we know.
