Hack Shifts Social App Control to its Top-Ranked Video Creator

by Binary News NetworkJanuary 18, 2021024

Accurately predicting social media’s toxic voyeurism and greed, sci-fi graphic novel Contraband Financial Times says “evokes shabby world of compromised morals” now available on Kindle for first time

LONDON, UK,  January 18, 2021,  ZEXPRWIRE, Contraband, the breakout sci-fi graphic novel which predicted today’s malignant world of social media, has been released on Amazon Kindle for the first time.  Published by Slave Labor Graphic, written by Thomas Behe and illustrated by Phil Elliott, Contraband is an eerie foreshadowing of today’s tech-driven paranoia and online political mayhem.

When a hacker shifts real-time ownership of a wildly popular social app to any creator of its’ top-viewed video, rampant violence, misinformation and privacy invasion ensues – as people everywhere chase the money, fame and power of being ranked #1. 

The story centres on a self-styled citizen journalist forced to hunt down an activist who is sabotaging a ruthless entrepreneur’s dark web social media app, Contraband.  His search leads him into a voyeur underground where profit-hungry youths prowl city streets secretly inciting, staging and filming violent events to satisfy society’s demand for sensational content.

Originally published in 2007, Contraband has been praised by both mainstream and independent reviewers.  The Financial Times says “Behe’s dialogue brings a hip, hyper-real energy to his plot, while Elliot’s deceptively plain artwork evokes a shabby world of compromised morals.” Entertainment Weekly notes “Behe’s critique of the public’s willingness to watch all manner of depravity is a righteous, if not an original, one.” Broken Frontiers believes Contraband is “as visionary as the technology Behe writes about.”

Contraband’s chilling collection of ideas in an earlier era may have seemed outrageous – but are now rampant in 2021.  Dark web communication apps secretly serving criminals banned from Twitter, Facebook and other big name social apps.  Rampant “happy slapping” with credibility-hungry kids filming violent, exploitive acts.  Professional citizen journalists empowered with mobiles chasing down video stories to gain their own online fame.  Contraband is an engaging story in it’s own right – and readers are treated to additional intrigue of identifying its social privacy predictions which have come true.

“We weren’t trying to be prophetic when we created Contraband 15 years ago – but it turns out we did anticipate some of the more significant and unfortunate trends in the social world,” explained Behe. “It seems many meaningful public dialogues focus on issues coming out in the book;  fake news, government spying, data privacy theft, video violence. But Contraband was really intended to be a cool little story anyone can enjoy.”

And reader will find Contraband a fun, engaging visual tale – as mentioned by Wired: “The sci-fi thriller unfolds amidst vengeful relationships, insatiable desire, public outrage and mobiles that pack 1,000-volt electric nodes, pepper spray capability – Steve Jobs take note!”
