The Less Gullible Generation

It’s a romantic comedy for a time when the rules of the game have changed.

She has a neural implant designed to prevent self-deception.
He runs a wellness startup, specialises in grand gestures, and has absolutely no idea what he’s actually feeling.

They meet when he steals her scarf.

In a world where everyone has a Companion nudging them to question their thoughts, misunderstandings are rare. Projection is inefficient. Drama is exhausting.

Falling for lies is almost impossible.

Falling for someone?
That’s more complicated.

The Less Gullible Generation is a romantic comedy about what happens when clarity meets chaos, when scepticism meets longing, when the most self-aware generation in history attempts the one thing that still requires a little irrational belief.

It’s for anyone who has ever analysed themselves into paralysis.
Anyone who has ever been called “too much” or “not enough.”
Anyone who has stood at the edge of love and thought:

What if I’m wrong about this?

You probably are.

So is everyone.

The question isn’t whether you’re wrong.

The question is whether you jump anyway.
