What if women ruled the world?The first big step was the washing machine, freeing housewives from scrubbing all day to get those grass stains out. They used the free time to claim the right to vote.
The next moment arrived when Rosie the Riveter led a generation of women into factories, assembling the heavy metals of World War II. Women were now doing the jobs of men.
Then came the dishwasher, the microwave, and factories that started making frozen dinners instead of bombs. No more hours spent whipping up dinner from scratch.
Suddenly, there was even more leisurely time. While some women spent it shopping and watching the flurry of soap operas saturating the airwaves, others became hyper-educated. With the dawn of the Web, this accelerated rate of learning went worldwide, and suddenly women were sometimes as smart as men, but usually smarter.
Next arrived the wireless wonders, self-driving cars, holograms and finally androids. The stage was set for the final ascent of womankind, long foreseen by ancient sages who understood world cycles.
We've heard of Cleopatra and Helen of Troy, but the children of tomorrow will know Emperia Bloom, or someone a lot like her. She represents the culmination of the "feminine shift" in world consciousness, fierce at first to match the aggressive level of masculine energies.
Caught in the middle of the paradigm shift is Phoenix Flynn, a soft-spoken but strong-willed man in a world ruled by women. Like most people, he has no idea of his full potential, until "illusion burns in a flash" and we witness the birth of a new hero. But when he finds himself getting close to the powerful leader, he discovers the dark secrets behind her sudden rise. Will he dare rise up against this force of nature, or were these opposites meant to be together?
