    About this ebook

    In our increasingly divided world, the wealthiest one percent live in a world of their own. For the time being, they still need the lower classes -- to build their houses, grow their food, and buy the products made by the machines they own. But as automation progresses -- as we invent ever more versatile machines to fulfil all these functions -- that time is drawing to a close.
    This book reveals the trends and developments that are about to make us obsolete, and exposes the vested interests behind them. But the end is not yet inevitable: Shakarian shows how we can stand up to an elite that thinks of us as nothing more than tools.

      Though provoking... the basis of the book, is definitely plausible. It sound a bit out of a story book. Though, truth is stranger than fiction. After reading this, I sincerely hope this is a work of fiction.

    STAGE I: SEED

    The Pitch

    Nobody could know about the meeting. Everything about it was a closely guarded secret: the location, the guest list, the speakers, the organizers – and above all, its very existence. All invitees were instructed, in no uncertain terms, to destroy the invitation card immediately upon reading it, and to deny, in the unlikely case that anybody ever asked, that anything like this had ever reached them.

    Rumor has it that one single person on the guest list, outraged at the thought of a conspiracy, wanted to contact the press after receiving his card. Before he did so, he asked a few friends if they had been invited, too. One of them had. Word got around; threats were made. Whoever was behind the meeting knew things that nobody wanted known. The would-be spoilsport ultimately retracted his allegations, convinced the friends he'd talked to that it had all been a joke, and burned his invitation card without telling anyone else.

    My informant doesn't know how many people were invited. There were, she says, somewhere between forty and fifty people at the meeting, many of whom she recognized as belonging to the uppermost strata of international society. No glossy-magazine celebrities, though. No movie stars, scandalous heiresses, or royalty.

    Well, there was one movie star, she added, months later, when we were talking via an encrypted IRC channel. I don't think I have to tell you his name.

    Quite obviously, these people had been chosen for their money. Not for their political influence – though some present probably wielded quite a lot of that, if mostly behind the scenes. Nor for their popularity – quite on the contrary: most of those present were notoriously private figures, fleeing the spotlight, socializing exclusively with others of their kind. They came from different countries, supported different political ideologies (or none at all), belonged to different religions (or none at all) – but they all had one thing in common: they were filthy rich.

    So rich they live in a world of their own. Not only would you never meet one of these people on the subway or in a supermarket; you wouldn't even see their cars on the street. Because if the bother to leave their estates and come to the city, instead of making everyone else come to them, they would, of course, travel by helicopter rather than endure the slog of traffic down below.

    So rich they don't need passports. They have their own planes; in some cases, even their own small airports. When they use regular airports, there are special corridors and gates for them. They get shuttled through, no questions asked. Anybody – or anything – they bring with them, also gets waved along.

    So rich, in fact, that quite a lot of them do not appear on that Forbes Richest People list. If you'd rather not have your name known, there are ways to opt out. And for many of these people, the benefits of invisibility are easily worth the price.

    I will not give you their names. I can't; my contact didn't tell me, fo fear of being exposed. Besides, she said, most of these names would not mean anything to me or you. Our worlds
