Involving time travel, subconscious propaganda, and corporate espionage, American Cheese traverses centuries of manufactured history, guided by unreliable narrators, weaponized nostalgia, and algorithms in patriotic dress-up.
Simultaneously a paranoid satire and a documentary hallucination, it asks what happens when memory becomes currency and reality starts getting charged for bandwidth.
Featuring a wide cast that includes a sci-fi novelist no stranger to LSD flashbacks, an influencer sentenced to wear fashion fatigues and peddle "indoctritainment" for the Department of Defense, an undead animation tycoon, a self-replicating biomass bent on global consumption (and in a few timelines, already successful), twelve-foot-tall pro wrestlers, corrupt politicians, greedy techbros, double and triple agents, a lonely spy whale, a cancelled actor with "exotic" cravings, a star-struck shapeshifter, an island of sentient puppets, a caped space ranger with species-ending ambitions, a pop megastar who accidentally founds a fascist country, and an insurance broker who seems normal at first but there's definitely something off about that guy.
Dark, silly, and structurally suspicious, American Cheese is either an epic or an accident.
Genre: Science Fiction
