In a near-future America where road rage is legal, weaponized, and livestreamed for millions, two influencers are about to learn what happens when the algorithm turns against you.

Blake Sterling and Madison Perdew are the king and queen of Highway Nation — one of the most-watched ragefluencer channels in the country. Armed with a military-grade SUV, a corporate-sponsored targeting system called the RageBox, and 2.4 million loyal subscribers, they hunt traffic violators on the 405, executing precision takedowns while hawking energy drinks and tactical merchandise to a bloodthirsty audience.

It’s content. It’s entertainment. It’s a billion-dollar industry. And it’s all perfectly legal.

Then a routine takedown goes wrong. The target — an exhausted ER nurse — wakes up on a stretcher, stares into their hovering camera drone, and says five words that change everything: “You have no idea what you’ve started, Blake Sterling.”

No one was supposed to know that name.

Within days, their RageBox begins flagging violations that shouldn’t exist — measurements too precise, timing too convenient, targets too perfect. A grieving mother whose teenage daughter was killed by the very system Blake’s family manufactures lures them onto her podcast and dismantles them on live air. And before they can recover, the system they built their empire on suddenly flags them as targets. Every dashboard in the city lights up with the same message:

PROTOCOL AUTHORIZED.

Now Blake and Madison are fleeing through a city they helped weaponize — hunted by their own fans, their fellow influencers, and a corporate conspiracy that runs far deeper than content creation. Stripped of their followers, their money, and their identities, they’re forced into hiding in the one place their technology can’t reach: the analog district, where people still drive without weapons systems, surveillance, or the constant threat of algorithmic justice.

But the people hunting them won’t stop at the district line. And the truth behind the RageBox — who really controls it and why — could bring down more than just their channel. It could ignite a war.

RAGEFLUENCERS is a white-knuckle satirical thriller about influencer culture, corporate greed, and the terrifying ease with which we surrender control to the algorithm.
