Survival Systems

In Systems of Survival, Jane Jacobs identifies two distinct moral syndromes—one governing commerce, the other politics—and explores what happens when these two syndromes collide. She looks at business fraud and criminal enterprise, government’s overextended subsidies to agriculture, and transit police who abuse the system the are supposed to enforce, and asks us to consider instances in which snobbery is a virtue and industry a vice.

The System’s new rating was supposed to be the most accurate in history. It rated me as a corpse collector. Four years of being a washout Mage, and the re-rating drops me to Tier-0 Reclaimer—the administrative bottom. Grave-picking. Ruins-cleanup. Docked rations, barred from any crew that matters. It missed one thing. My class sees what the dead leave behind—orphaned experience, discarded skills, power tangled in the rubble where no rated adventurer can even look. Free, for anyone patient enough to pick it up. So I pick it up. I scavenge the monster-haunted zones the strong won’t ...

From cosmic bargain bin reject to the OP life. Jax woke up with no memories, no pants, and no clue why he was dressed like the clearance-rack version of a cult initiate. Before he could even begin the classic “Who am I?” routine, a god showed up with the customer service skills of a rabid raccoon. Apparently, Jax had been purchased for pennies on the divine bargain shelf and dropped into a brand-new world for one purpose: fuel the system, entertain the masses, and maybe get sacrificed for the benefit of some very needy followers. The god’s message was simple. Congratulations, trash. ...

The divorce was supposed to be the end. It wasn't. The narcissist doesn't stop when the marriage ends — she just changes her weapons. And now she's using your children.
