A Film Script Reimagines Julius Caesar's Assassination in a Corporate Dystopia
A new creative project transforms a fundamental historical event into a narrative of corporate science fiction. The betrayal in the Roman Senate is reinterpreted within the framework of a megacorporation that controls the world, where power is measured in data access and neural connection. 🎬
From Togas to Executive Suits
The setting shifts from ancient Rome to the headquarters of Roma Inc., a corporate-state. Here, the lifetime CEO Gaius Julius Caesar does not rule over senators, but over a board of vice presidents. The conspiracy to oust him is born in the boardroom, where a coup is planned that uses technology as the main weapon.
Key Elements of the Transposition:- Setting: The Senate chamber becomes an ultramodern boardroom with touch screens and holograms.
- Protagonists: The Roman senators are now high-ranking executives in suits.
- Conflict: The struggle for political power is transferred to absolute control of the corporate digital infrastructure.
The betrayal uses the same control systems that the leader implemented to consolidate his power.
Executing a Coup in the Digital Era
The violent act is completely redefined. The conspirators coordinate a simultaneous technological attack instead of a physical stabbing. Their goal is to erase Caesar's digital presence, which in this society equates to erasing his existence.
Steps of the Digital Assassination:- Revoke all the CEO's biometric permissions and access credentials.
- Delete his identity from the central corporate cloud, the knowledge base of Roma Inc.
- Launch a targeted electromagnetic pulse to melt his neural implants and disconnect him from the network.
The Meaning of Dying in a Global Network
In this world, eliminating the digital identity constitutes the only form of death that matters. Caesar's physical body may remain intact, but by losing his connection to the system, his essence, authority, and stored memories are lost. The corporation proceeds to terminate the employee due to restructuring, and his profile on the intranet disappears in seconds, instantly rewriting history. This narrative explores the dangers of a hyperconnected society where the self resides in servers. 💀
