In this special edition of The Whitepaper, host Nicolin Decker reveals how The Economic Bomb was never just a dissertation โ it was the ignition point for an entirely new genre:
Strategic Fiction.
Built over two years, The Economic Bomb began as a formal thesis on U.S. financial system vulnerabilities, cyber-physical infiltration, and asymmetric economic warfare. But to make the model accessible to civilians โ without tripping classified thresholds โ it became something more.
A novel.
๐ Strategic Fiction is a new narrative form that embeds real continuity simulations, intelligence-grade scenario modeling, and COOP/COG doctrine inside a fictional wrapper. It's designed not to incite, but to inform. Not to dramatize, but to prepare.
Why turn a thesis into a thriller? Because fiction reaches the people policy papers never will. Because metaphor carries what memos canโt. Because signal โ when buried in story โ becomes memory.
In this episode:
What happens when the next 9/11 isnโt kinetic โ but economic? When the grid, the markets, and the public trust are the targets?
This episode doesnโt just ask that question. It simulates the answer โ in narrative form.
