AWA Studios announced Mark Russell and Laci have teamed for Death Ratio’d, a new one-shot where social media rules life and death…
“DEATH RATIO’D is about a future where social media has replaced the government and the self-reinforcing norms that follow,” said creator and writer Mark Russell in a press release from AWA Studios. “But, in a broader sense, it’s about a man waking up from a coma to find himself stepping into a technological landscape he doesn’t quite understand, which is how I believe most of us feel these days.”
When DEATH RATIO’D protagonist Arnold awakes from a coma twenty years into the future, he discovers that society is now ruled by social media conventions. Enough “likes” and “upvotes” can unlock fame and fortune but watch out, because enough “thumbs down” clicks, and you’re done when the collar around your neck explodes. Confused and running on his last “like,” Arnold must now navigate a world in which the slightest misstep can have fatal consequences.
Death Ratio’d is scheduled to arrive on May 29, 2024.
