The Golden Filters: A Social Media Reset

By: Schultz, D. R.

At Oakhaven High, popularity isn't earned - it's calculated.
Every student lives beneath a floating number: a Social Score that tracks likes, loyalty, and influence in real time. High scores unlock privilege. Low scores erase you.
Zoe had everything the system rewards - until she refused to turn cruelty into content.
Her score collapses in front of the entire school, and overnight she becomes a Social Ghost: unseen, unheard, and algorithmically erased. Cut off from the Feed that once defined her, Zoe discovers something the system was never meant to allow - places where the signal dies. Where metrics don, t matter, and where a real connection still exists.

As the school tightens control and punishes anyone who steps out of line, a quiet rebellion begins to form. One that doesn't chase attention, outrage, or validation.
It chases truth.
The Golden Filters: A Social Media Reset is a gripping dystopian novel about identity, surveillance, and the courage it takes to stop performing in a world that profits from being watched.
