In this special edition of The Whitepaper, host Nicolin Decker reveals how The Economic Bomb was never just a dissertation — it was the ignition point for an entirely new genre:

Strategic Fiction.

Built over two years, The Economic Bomb began as a formal thesis on U.S. financial system vulnerabilities, cyber-physical infiltration, and asymmetric economic warfare. But to make the model accessible to civilians — without tripping classified thresholds — it became something more.

A novel.

📘 Strategic Fiction is a new narrative form that embeds real continuity simulations, intelligence-grade scenario modeling, and COOP/COG doctrine inside a fictional wrapper. It's designed not to incite, but to inform. Not to dramatize, but to prepare.

Why turn a thesis into a thriller? Because fiction reaches the people policy papers never will. Because metaphor carries what memos can’t. Because signal — when buried in story — becomes memory.

In this episode:

• 📖 The Economic Bomb novel is unpacked: a Red Team scenario based on real-world signals and documented federal blind spots.
• 🔍 Real adversary playbooks are traced: → The 2016 Bangladesh Bank Heist → Operation Ababil → The 2010 Flash Crash → Starfish Prime → The 2023 PLA maneuvers → The 2019 Saudi Aramco strikes
• 🧠 The book builds on the same threat models used by government agencies — and translates them into a continuity test readable by civilians.
• ⚠️ Fiction becomes a lawful simulation when it uses selector-neutral structure, open-source modeling, and doctrinal discipline.

What happens when the next 9/11 isn’t kinetic — but economic? When the grid, the markets, and the public trust are the targets?

This episode doesn’t just ask that question. It simulates the answer — in narrative form.
