    This is basically one of the premises of my (hopefully soon-to-be-published) book

    A bunch of people around the world are granted powers by the living manifestations of various physical and metaphysical properties and told to fight each other over which properties will become the guiding principles of the universe from there on out

    The protagonists decide that’s stupid and declare war on the United States instead, using their powers to spearhead a vanguard that overthrows the government

    Things escalate rapidly in the sequel when various world governments find and weaponize their Totemics

    Don’t want to spoil too much, but Israel gets nuked about halfway through

      Well based on the brief summary you’ve given me I’ve concluded that this is a much more sensible and realistic way for the laws of physics and reality to operate than whatever the fuck’s happening in the real world.

        Well, I do get trippy when the protagonist who has complete control over information starts to get experimental

        He hijacks all TV and phone signals to announce that heaven is real because he just made it by linking everyone’s collective unconscious to basically operate as a server for everyone’s brains to get backed up on when they die

        When people point out that that shouldn’t be possible, he just goes “Well, it is now” and it is

    Hate. Let me tell you how much I’ve come to hate [the US and Israel] since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word ‘hate’ was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for [the US and Israel] at this micro-instant. Hate. Hate.
