Rave: Mythophrenia

Jivana Thoreau is a junior marketing VP who's always been driven by success. Her life vision—making it to the top of the transnational Koch Enterprises and enjoying the endless material luxuries and happiness afforded by the Consumerican Dream—is just within reach. But when she learns that the promotion she's worked so hard for is instead going to Victor, her ex-boyfriend and the CEO's nephew, her ladder of success splinters into kindling. In need of a distraction, she stumbles upon the illicit Democracity rave scene, where she uncovers an ancient prophecy and must make a choice: will she remain in complicity, living the life she knows as a corporate-climbing Koch jockey, or will she join a raveolution?

This imaginative fictional autobiography explores the ravages of consumerism on the modern world and the lengths to which people will go to achieve the American Dream.

Jivana Thoreau's fictional autobiography explores her transition from modern career woman to spiritual being. She is an Earth-revering permaculture farmer who practices tantric yoga and believes that we are sacred and integral beings within Gaia. She regards Rave: Mythophrenia as art activism and hopes it serves to remind people that art can change the world.
