But the country he once knew has become unrecognizable, a totalitarian state where the crusade to save the planet is more terrifying than the disaster itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWelcome to Scob Nation, where body-modified zealots called Flagellantes patrol the streets with sewn nostrils and glowing LED brows, where grotesque bio-engineered \"stoinks\" roam a carbon-monitored wasteland, and where color-coded temple-discs track every action, thought, and moral failure.
