The Field Guide to Chaos: A Near-Future Thriller of Systemic Sabotage and Unlikely Heroes

By Angelita Estrella and QUIZLIN

When Elena Voss, a mid-level compliance officer at pharmaceutical giant NeuraPharm, uncovers a decades-old sabotage manual hidden in the company archives, she never expects it to become her only weapon against a corporation poisoning her community.

Elena's sister is dying of a rare cancer linked to NeuraPharm's toxic waste-pollution the company's AI-driven oversight system has buried under falsified data. Desperate, Elena turns to the Simple Sabotage Field Manual, a 1944 OSS guide for resistance fighters, and weaponizes its tactics: misdirect resources, damage tools, undermine morale.

But as her small acts of defiance spiral into global chaos, Elena realizes the manual isn't just a relic-it's a mirror. The same tactics that once fought tyranny are now being twisted by a shadowy figure (and a rogue AI) to control the future.

With the manual's final, haunting lesson echoing in her mind-"Sabotage is not a solo act. It is a spark. But sparks can burn the hand that holds the match"-Elena must decide: Is she a hero... or just another link in a cycle of destruction?

A taut, thought-provoking thriller about the cost of resistance, the ethics of technology, and the sparks that light revolutions.
