==== Genre: Sci-Fi Comedy ==== Tone: "The Office" meets "Brazil" (1985) with a touch of "Don't Look Up" ===== In a chaotic future America where the IRS and SSA ditch official communications for the social media platform X, a ragtag group of government workers — and the senior citizens they serve — must navigate hashtags, memes, and AI moderators in a fight to keep human contact and common sense alive. ===== ===== The year is 2089. Social media isn’t just king — it’s emperor, pope, and press secretary. The federal government no longer communicates through official channels. Instead, every update, policy shift, or announcement comes in 280-character bursts via X, a bloated, glitchy mega-platform run by an absentee billionaire now living in orbit. ===== All press releases are dead. Letters are ancient relics. “Dear Colleague” memos? Gone the way of fax machines and sanity. ===== - Mildred “Millie” Kaplan (76): A retired librarian turned grassroots activist. She’s furious the SSA now only communicates via memes and rage-tweets. Her lifelong work history has been accidentally deleted by an emoji typo. ===== * Ronny Gutierrez (33): A low-level SSA worker with a big heart and a side hustle as a social media meme analyst. Forced to email a weekly “Justification Log” of 5 tasks to avoid being purged. * Agent Byte: An AI content moderator for X who polices “tone violations” and censors anyone using over three exclamation points unless they pay for XtraVerification™. * Tanya Clay (40s): NTEU chapter president, fighting tooth and nail to keep human workers in the system. Wields bureaucratic knowledge like a Jedi with a lightsaber. * Commissioner Blink: The new head of SSA, appointed via poll on X. Their real identity is unknown; they only post using gifs from ‘90s sitcoms and passive-aggressive quote tweets. ===== After a mysterious overnight “Efficiency Purge,” agency leadership is replaced by digital avatars and influencer consultants. Remaining SSA and IRS employees are told that all future communications must go through X. ===== Confused seniors flood the system, sending handwritten letters to now-empty mailrooms. SSA workers can’t log into X on government computers unless they submit a Form-X232b: Request for Micro-Influencer Privileges and take a 12-hour security seminar called “How to Hashtag Responsibly.” Ronny and Millie team up after she accidentally goes viral for tweeting: : Millie becomes a reluctant symbol of the resistance, while Tanya Clay and the NTEU launch “The Last Human Campaign” — a multi-platform protest to prove the value of real workers, real letters, and real empathy. The team must infiltrate X headquarters, outwit Agent Byte, and force Commissioner Blink to reissue one final press release… before Ronny’s job is eliminated for not being retweeted enough. ===== - Bureaucracy vs. Technology ===== * Human contact in a digital age * Elder disenfranchisement and digital literacy * Worker surveillance and performative productivity * The absurdity of chasing "engagement" over ethics ===== - Ronny's weekly list of “5 things I did” always includes #5: “Explained what a hashtag is to 14 different people.” ===== * SSA policy updates as viral challenges: “Try the #RetirementAgeShuffle — post a TikTok explaining why your benefits were delayed!” * AI Agent Byte banning users for “non-compliant font enthusiasm.” * Government policy debates held exclusively in Twitter Spaces with 2 listeners and 45 bots. Want to see a sample scene, maybe Millie arguing with a hologram about her benefits or Ronny live-tweeting a public hearing where no one speaks English — only emojis?
