BRICS and Giggles: The Absurdity of a New World Order

What occurs when the world’s most intense power struggle becomes a farcical, highly televised food fight?

Welcome to 2026. The global financial order has been upended. The BRICS coalition—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—has successfully orchestrated a disruptive financial shift, transferring control of global currencies from the corridors of Washington to a gleaming, chaotic new Office of Sovereign Accountancy in Johannesburg.

In this shocking new reality, the West is left scrambling. An outraged US President, determined to reclaim his ‘Maximum Winning’ status, and his flustered European counterparts find their strategic moves turning into farce. From imposing pointless 500% tariffs on untraceable transactions to inadvertently causing the ‘Black Swan Soybean’ disaster, the old guard is demonstrating that incompetence is their only constant.

But the West’s struggle is only part of the story. The real brilliance of the new world order lies in its own chaotic, absurd internal affairs. The new financial overlords spend less time on global domination and more on intense diplomatic battles over the office thermostat, the canteen menu, and the Wi-Fi password. Their grand alliance is held together not by gold or code, but by a collective, terrifying fear of being reassigned to the dreaded ‘Soybean and Rodent Control Desk’.

BRICS and Giggles is a sharp political satire that examines how a system founded on high ideals—stability, multilateralism, and shared sovereignty—is constantly sabotaged by the petty, mundane, and amusingly human shortcomings of those in charge.

Featuring fictionalised caricatures of today’s most prominent world leaders, this novel is a ‘farcical spectacle’ that demonstrates the greatest threat to global stability isn’t a nuclear missile—it’s a poorly managed bureaucracy and a foul-smelling pile of beans.

You can just read on and laugh at the absurdity. It’s what keeps the global economy moving.
