The fictional wolfish A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) robot Cyclonus (from Hasbro's Transformers entertainment franchise) represents new age social curiosities about governance corruption, Machiavellian ruthlessness/piracy in mismanaged capitalism contexts, and even arrogance/vanity.
The fictional American tourist/traveler Richard (portrayed very well by Hollywood actor Leo DiCaprio), a brooding and isolationism-experimental young man from Danny Boyle's heart-of-darkness exploration film The Beach, is a 'narrator' in a story about finding metaphysics on an isolated island while confronting the 'reality' of darkness in a world arguably 'over-run' by the bureaucracy/tedium of modern machinery.
In Cyclonus, we find a 'messenger' of Machiavellian piracy, while in Richard, we see a 'prophet' (of sorts) of civilization dissatisfaction. This makes both Cyclonus and Richard (from 'pop-culture art') characters symbolizing governance-flaw contemplation.
Isn't it interesting how we Americans are fascinated by characters/stories representing governance disarray?

As Richard wrote in his Thailand journal about his travels on an idyllic isolated island and why it promoted him to think about the heart of darkness and the dissatisfaction with modern governance/democracy, he realized he was being visited by a strange alien robot. It was raining and dark, and Richard noticed a strange purple light approaching him while he was writing in his journal in a cave on the beach on the island where he was 'meditating.' The 'bearer' of the light introduced himself as 'Cyclonus' (a robot from an A.I. planet called Cybertron). Cyclonus told Richard he was curious about human civilization and if forms of mankind's governance (e.g., 'TrumpUSA') reflected true American interests in 'socialization imagination.' Cyclonus also explained that he was an assassin-robot often thinking about governance weaknesses; Richard told Cyclonus he was a brooding/traveling 'amateur philosopher' contemplating the 'reality' of evolution-dissatisfaction.
CYCLONUS: You and I are both considered 'hellraisers' of modernism!
RICHARD: Right; you're more an 'assassin' and I'm more a 'terrorist.'
CYCLONUS: That's true; I focus on weakness, while you focus on angst!
RICHARD: Yes, assassins hunt for weaknesses, while terrorists focus on partitions.
CYCLONUS: Some consider you a 'death-prophet.'
RICHARD: I understand; I'm sometimes alluding to the 'yearning' of complete isolation.
CYCLONUS: Some consider me a 'face-ripper.'
RICHARD: That's sensible; your demeanor/goals makes you a vanity-surgeon!
CYCLONUS: Well, when assassins look for flaws in religion, they're dissecting morality.
RICHARD: Yet, I too dissect morality (in a way) when I critique society for its pride.
CYCLONUS: You allude to the frills of socialization as they contrast to the quest for privacy!
RICHARD: And you refer to the 'precision' of hunting as it relates to governance gluttony.
CYCLONUS: I'm something of a terrorist (like you), but I think more about 'liberty.'
RICHARD: True; I'm something of a nihilist (like you), but I think more about 'panic.'
CYCLONUS: Does frailty in governance give rise to panic and rage?
RICHARD: Sure it does; just as the presence of assassins signals a demand for rebellion!
CYCLONUS: Does TrumpUSA exhibit the necessary features of a 'holistic democracy'?
RICHARD: Well, there're media-scandals and consumer-vices, but it's a 'user-system.'
CYCLONUS: True; there're are governance critiques/protests, but there's 'reporting.'
RICHARD: If I'm a 'death-prophet' and you're a 'face-ripper,' we can address WikiLeaks.
CYCLONUS: Yes, we can talk about info-delivery in modern times; 'ethics intrigue.'
RICHARD: Perhaps you and I will be considered the Iagos of modernism...
CYCLONUS: If we are, we might be cited in discussions about 'TrumpUSA vices.'
RICHARD: Sure; democracy-flaws always inspire chats about governance diarism.
CYCLONUS: Perhaps the best view of heaven...is from hell!
After Cyclonus (a robot from planet Cybertron) and Richard (a gothic philosopher/traveler from America) concluded their little 'chat' about the contouring of TrumpUSA/governance/democracy intrigue, they decided that new age considerations about socialization consciousness (e.g., Facebook, WikiLeaks, eTrade, MTV, etc.) represented America's interests in 'civilization dissection.' After all, what would democracy analysis become without a proper dosage of commentary from 'Devil's Advocates'? Perhaps TrumpUSA would indeed become a 'beacon' for great intellectualism, with the right messengers...even those from the 'dark side' of the imagination(!).
