Loser (Paperback)


After the last bloody war promising to end all wars, the Council did what no previous government could ever do: Unify the world under one government. No longer focused on war, civilization turned inward, but not necessarily for the better. You see, a brilliant scientist experimenting with brain chemistry, sociology and socioeconomic predictive algorithms discovered that you can predict the demise of an individual's social status through neurons that fire in synaptic patterns. His invention of a device to measure this energy quickly changed the world. Like societies that victimize their lowest class, the invention of a device to determine someone's usefulness to a community manages to make that effort even easier. While the original inventor created the device to assist those falling into poverty and despair, it didn't take long for others to see a more nefarious purpose behind the detector. Calling those on the "bottom" of the social ladder "Losers," the nickname stuck and soon became the focus of a large part of the government. Rem Schlock is a new Exterminator tasked with hunting and finding elusive Losers. During his search, he discovers the rumor of a mysterious "leader" of the Losers. Facing a future darkened by random death, decayed cities and hidden loyalties, Rem hunts this phantom criminal, discovering an underworld he never imagined yet once revealed can never be covered up again.
