Welcome to the corporate state: a terrifying look at a future where people are dependent on fascist, totalitarian corporations for everything.
The America, Inc. Saga is a sweeping dystopian political thriller series set in a fractured future where the United States has been transformed into a corporate state. Elections have given way to executive authority, citizenship has become an economic asset, and power belongs to the organizations wealthy enough to control information, security, commerce, and the institutions that once defined American democracy.
At the center of this new order is Intercorpex, a vast corporate system built on influence, surveillance, financial control, and the promise of stability. Its leaders insist that the old political system failed and that corporate governance is the logical evolution of America. But beneath the carefully managed prosperity lies an increasingly authoritarian society where loyalty is rewarded, dissent carries consequences, and truth has become another commodity to be bought and sold.
Across the saga, political insiders, corporate executives, journalists, soldiers, rebels, and ordinary citizens find themselves caught in a struggle over who will determine the country's future. Alliances shift. Institutions collapse. Information becomes a weapon. Financial markets become battlefields. And decisions made in corporate boardrooms carry consequences for millions of people.
As resistance grows and competing factions fight for control, the conflict expands far beyond politics. The survival of the corporate republic itself comes into question—and so does the meaning of freedom in a nation where virtually everything has a price.
Blending political intrigue, corporate espionage, economic warfare, military suspense, and near-future dystopian fiction, the America, Inc. Saga explores the consequences of unchecked institutional power and asks a provocative question:
If democracy disappeared gradually enough, would anyone realize what had been lost until it was too late?
Praise for the America, Inc. Saga
-
Another intense thriller full of twists and turns, in a very creative and frighteningly realistic world--one in which it's hard to choose a side. I read everything Carlson writes and he still throws me for loops! Highly recommend this read.

The Black Swan Event brings to life a masterfully detailed array of characters with diverse viewpoints that establish an intricately mesmerizing, yet alarmingly grim, reality. Mikael Carlson turns the tension up to full blast in this complex examination of a corporate entity’s overreaching grip on power and the skillful group determined to break its hold.

Carlson wrote this years ago, yet it's uncanny how close the world in 'Black Swan Event' is to today's world. And let's be real, would you have ever believed, let alone predicted, what life is like now if someone told you just two years ago?
