Hystopia is a fragmented, surreal novel imagining an America trapped in unresolved war trauma. Set after a fictional Vietnam conflict, the book explores memory, violence, and national myth-making. Means blends satire, horror, and metafiction. The structure mirrors psychological disintegration. It is deliberately disorienting and provocative. A challenging vision of collective trauma.
