Lucious Universe and its Characters

Lucious is a personal story in which the reality of a social outcast is melted in the universe of the secondary characters of the novel; characters that dive in the ocean of a world ruled by Conspiracy Theories.

A deep and satirical treatment of our own reality, where these Conspiracy Theories rise as an explanation to the present social crisis in which we are immersed.

A plot where Lucious sees himself involved because the deepness of his character, as that of all human beings, is based on his feelings and his deepest instincts such as fear, hope, dreams, desires… precisely the things that stand for these Conspiracy Theories. These theories appeal and intensify the feelings from the adept, getting him to put any moral and empirical reasoning aside and adopting this conspiracy theory as an unbreakable faith dogma in his life.

“The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory is that conspiracy theorists actually believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting.

The truth of the world is that it is chaotic.

The truth is, that it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy or the grey aliens or the 12 foot reptiloids from another dimension that are in control.

The truth is more frightening, nobody is in control.

The world is rudderless”

Alan Moore, 2003
