This is a super good story, especially considering the way data is currently being used and what it all might mean in the future.
I’m sure there are people who would read this and think it’s a great idea because they’d assure themselves that they would just work hard to get a high number and be a great success, but every system that creates winners, by necessity, has to create losers. There’s only ever 100% of the pie and if the top 1% take 50% of that pie then what exactly will be left for the bottom percentages after all the middle people have had their slice? Changing the system so that you have a different 1% is not going to ever solve the problem.
The world is full of people who think they can solve the problem called Homo sapiens, but the reality is that Homo sapiens can’t be fixed. The problem called Homo sapiens will only be solved when Homo sapiens becomes extinct.
In the meanwhile we have to endure this death-by-a-thousand-cuts inflicted upon us by the top 1% and their sycophants. Hopefully not too much longer until we arrive at Armageddon.
So yeah, good story, let’s hope it doesn’t become too prophetic for most of our sakes.
The next book in Yudhanjaya’s timeline is Deep Ocean Blues.
