Marsha Little
for Marsha Little in THE BUREAU OF A BETTER REALITY (2029)
Suggested by amrowe8596
The Bureau of Better Reality is set in an alternate version of the United States, where all citizens are required by law to carry personal "Reality Cards." These cards allow people to customize their personal reality, filtering information they don’t want to believe in—from world news to celebrity gossip. The government agency responsible for managing these preferences is the Department of Reality Affairs, or DRA, a bloated, bureaucratic mess housed in a 90-floor skyscraper, with each floor dedicated to controlling different "truths." Eli is tasked with handling Marsha’s case, and her malfunctioning card causes her to experience the actual, unfiltered version of reality. She starts seeing the cracks in her world—the fake politicians, the staged news broadcasts, and the fact that the Reality Cards are being used to secretly siphon off people's emotions, which the government sells to tech companies to fund absurd projects like Mars Disneyland. When Eli realizes the extent of the corruption within the DRA, he joins forces with Fiona Pike to expose the truth. They attempt to break into the top floors of the DRA building, which are rumored to hold the "Master Console"—the ultimate device that controls reality for the entire country. As they ascend, they encounter floors dedicated to even stranger realities, from a department that moderates personal memories to another that manages people’s individual political beliefs, giving everyone a unique version of each candidate.
