The Gods That Eat Us: Exploring the Enigmatic Entities That Control Our Lives

Have you ever felt like someone or something is playing puppeteer with your life? Have you wondered if there are higher powers at play, influencing your every decision and action? Welcome to the world of the gods that eat us - mysterious, elusive beings believed to control our destiny.

In ancient mythology, gods were revered as powerful beings who directed the fate of mortals. However, as time went on, the concept of divinity transformed from mythical beings to abstract concepts. Today, the notion of gods is not restricted to religious or spiritual beliefs; it extends to broader entities that influence our lives, shaping our choices and decisions.

Unraveling the Gods That Eat Us

The gods that eat us are not physical beings we typically envision. They are collective entities that manifest through various agents and systems, exerting control over our lives. Some may argue that these entities are merely sociopolitical structures or economic systems, but their influence is undeniable, regardless of how we choose to define them.

These gods feed on our energy, attention, and often our very lives. They thrive on our fears, insecurities, and desires, which they skillfully manipulate to further their agendas. Their power lies in their ability to remain hidden and elusive, leaving us oblivious to their control.

But who or what are these gods? Let’s delve deeper into the realms of the enigmatic entities that shape our existence.

The Invisible Hand of Capitalism

Capitalism, often compared to an invisible hand, is one of the most prominent gods that eat us. It permeates every aspect of society, influencing our decisions, desires, and even our identities.

Through consumerism, capitalism feeds on our insatiable need for material possessions and status. It molds us into obedient workers, trapped in the perpetual cycle of production and consumption.

Capitalism’s omnipresence is so deeply ingrained in our lives that we often fail to recognize its influence. Our dreams, aspirations, and even our personal relationships are tainted by the gods of the market.

The Digital Overlords: Social Media and Technology

In the digital age, social media and technology have emerged as powerful gods that eat us. They harvest our attention, manipulate our emotions, and capitalize on our addiction to connection and validation.

Social media platforms play a significant role in shaping our thoughts, opinions, and even our self-worth. They have created a distorted reality where everything is a performance, and our lives are lived through the lens of a camera.

Our dependence on technology has made us submissive to its demands. From smart devices tracking our every move to algorithms deciding what content we consume, the gods of technology have woven themselves into the very fabric of our existence.

The Machinery of Governance and Manipulation

Politics and governance form another set of gods that eat us. The machinery of the state manipulates our beliefs, controls our behavior, and regulates our lives through laws, policies, and propaganda.

We may believe that our choices shape the political landscape, but in reality, the gods of governing manipulate us to serve their interests. They rely on our emotions, fears, and desires to sway opinions and maintain control over the masses.

Through the constant barrage of media and carefully crafted narratives, these gods determine what we perceive as truth and influence our perception of justice and equality.

Escaping the Clutches of the Gods That Eat Us

While the gods that eat us seem omnipotent, there are ways to break free from their control. Acknowledging their existence is the first step toward regaining agency over our lives.

Question everything – challenge the narratives, systems, and beliefs imposed upon us. Recognize the tactics employed by these gods to manipulate our thoughts and actions. Seek knowledge and cultivate critical thinking as tools to navigate the complexities of existence.

Embrace alternative ways of living, detached from the consumer-driven culture and the allure of social media. Form genuine connections, reclaim your privacy, and dedicate time to self-reflection and personal growth.

Ultimately, emancipation lies in collective action. Identify the shared struggles against the gods. Collaborate with like-minded individuals to dismantle oppressive systems, challenge societal norms, and pave the way for a future governed by compassion, understanding, and empathy.

Unveiling the Truth: The Gods That Eat Us

The gods that eat us may remain elusive, but our awareness and resistance can disrupt their hold on our lives. By peeling back the layers of manipulation and control, we can reclaim our autonomy and shape a world free from their influence. Break free from the divine puppeteers – the gods that eat us.

Unfortunately for eighteen-year-old James Booker, the apocalypse is not handicap accessible. Muscular dystrophy has sapped his legs of most their strength, turning the ruins of New York City into an impassable labyrinth. Worse yet, sadistic demigods and hostile foreign militaries wrest for control of these rusting ruins. Neither are particularly hospitable towards the American natives.

When a routine scavenging mission goes wrong, James and his ragged band of survivors encounter Charon, a thirteen-year-old boy who happens to be the most powerful demigod in the world. He is also a child too traumatized by his own destructive powers to use them. The group is divided. Some wish to save the boy, others to abandon him. James gets the tie-breaking vote and the ghosts of his past force him to shelter the child.

His decision unexpectedly plunges the group into a war between divinity and humanity. Demigods will make the boy a weapon. Humans will snuff him out before he becomes one. All that stands in their way — amidst all the world’s unholy magic and technological prowess – is James and his ragtag band of survivors.
