Those the Future Left Behind (eBook, ePUB)

A Novel

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The ever-increasing socioeconomic disparity between people on Earth has grown to the point that governments are now implementing a radical program: submit your life for "Collection" at a young age, and you'll gain access to immediate wealth-with some strings attached. For many from marginalized communities, this is barely a choice, as they would rather live an abbreviated life fulfilling their dreams than an elongated one scratching out a meager existence in the gutter.

Unpackaged from the first-person account of a neurodiverse Collector, an employee of the government who is charged with the execution of contracted individuals upon the conclusion of their allotted time, Those the Future Left Behind is a work of speculative science fiction that explores what life might be like on an Earth suffering from resource depletion and overpopulation-an Earth plagued by the same problems we continually brush off today on the chance that others will solve them for us tomorrow.
