Burger Wars - Dystopian Satire Science Fiction - Available on Amazon

A pitch-black, grease-slicked satire of corporate madness, where customer service is forced, the jingles are military marches, and the fries are strictly to die for.

Twenty years ago, fast-food behemoths Ron’s Burgers and General’s Chicken decided that assassinating health-conscious TV chefs was just good business strategy. Fast forward through two decades of corporate escalation, and the high street has turned into an open war zone. Enter Marcus: a four-star shift worker who got accidentally preserved in a walk-in freezer in the early 2000s and thawed out into a smog-choked wasteland. Now drafted straight to Camp Burger with a spatulated rifle, he has to survive corporate warfare and find the girl he loved.

  • Tropes: Dystopian survival, reluctant hero, corporate satire, fish-out-of-water
  • Trigger Warnings: Violence, corporate exploitation, dark humor/satire, war themes.

[Beta Readers Wanted] Burger Wars – Dystopian Satire – 59,000 words – Swap Welcome

Hi r/BetaReaders!

I'm looking for 2-3 beta readers for my completed dystopian satire novel, Burger Wars.

The pitch: In a near-future Britain where two fast-food giants, Ron's Burgers and General's Chicken, have plunged the country into literal war, a man named Marcus wakes up after years frozen in a restaurant freezer to find the world has gone completely mad. Conscripted soldiers flip burgers on battlefields. Corporate drones police the streets. And somewhere beneath the absurdity is a very real story about who actually controls what we eat, and who pays the price.

Think: Qualityland meets Animal Farm with a bit of body horror thrown in. Dark satire with action, black humour, and a fish-out-of-water protagonist trying to make sense of a world that's lost its mind.

What I'm looking for:

- Did the satire land, or did it tip into too silly / too heavy-handed?

- Does the pacing hold across the full novel (several people loved the opening but I want honest eyes on the whole thing)?

- Did Marcus work as a protagonist? Did you care about him?

- General impressions welcome

A bit about me: First-time novelist. Happy to swap, I read dystopian, literary fiction, and thrillers (I'm happy to read outside of those genre- but worth noting that it might not get the best feedback from me as it's not my wheelhouse). Realistic timelines totally fine, just let me know what works for you.

Drop a comment or DM if you're interested and I'll send you the first chapter to see if the vibe suits you before you commit.

Thanks!
