Idiocracy: Rise of the Average

Overview Pitch Treatment Publisher / Agent Script Summary Continuity / Rights Visual Development Franchise Gateway

Title Lock

Idiocracy: Rise of the Average. The Smartening is development history, not a competing public title.

Technology Lock

Smart-Stop 2.0/3.0, Emergency Dumb Mode, Resonator X1, satellite delivery, cognitive suppression/restoration concepts, frozen scientists, corporate AI and attention systems remain the core technology/lore lane.

Theme Lock

Education and critical thought are civic capacities. The solution cannot become a new caste system in which “smart people” simply inherit authority.

Continuity / QC Controls

Preserve the current Rise of the Average title.
Keep the 104-vs-109 page discrepancy explicit.
Treat the older ~170-page Phase 2 draft as non-current authority.
Do not reopen later experimental title/story branches unless deliberately approved.
Carry earlier midpoint, All-Is-Lost, transition, and ending notes forward as revision tasks only.

Full approved Idiocracy visual retained for continuity review.

Visual Continuity

The complete artwork is intentionally shown without zoom/crop so the daughter page preserves the same conceptual world visible on the parent card.
