03 - Status Quo by Mack Reynolds

from Status Quo · host Mack Reynolds

Status Quo is a sharp satirical sci-fi story that explores the absurdity of a society obsessed with status and superficiality. Government agent Larry Woolford thinks he has everything figured out—until he stumbles upon a secret conspiracy threatening the very foundations of civilization. Can he stop the rebels before they overthrow the system, or is change inevitable? A witty and thought-provoking classic of speculative fiction.
