In a celestial bureaucracy where heaven runs on protocol, quotas, and quiet panic, The God Candidate follows Merrian-a reserved, unexpectedly perceptive applicant vying for the highest position in the cosmos: God.She's one of hundreds brought before the divine selection panel, where success depends not on piety, but performance-empathy modules, ethical hypotheticals, and a live omnipotence simulator. While others perform miracles and trigger plagues of unintended consequences, Merrian hesitates. Watches. Declines. And in doing so, becomes the most worshipped of all.Both biting and tender, The God Candidate is a metaphysical satire of belief, power, and the strange ways we search for meaning. What if the next God wasn't the boldest, or the holiest-but the last person who wanted the job?
