In a world reshaped by the seismic events of the Second Civil War of 2033, where chaos reigns and uncertainty looms, Zero Sum Conclusion challenges perceptions and ignites conversations. Set against the backdrop where crime, greed, and political discord grip the nation, Zero Sum Conclusion presents a provocative vision of a society in upheaval. In a bold departure from the norm, every eighteen-year-old is endowed with a million-dollar windfall in lieu of traditional healthcare, Social Security, and Medicare, fundamentally altering the social and economic landscape. But the transformation doesn't end there. Political divisions are replaced with a novel classification system, assigning citizens as Front-Loaders or Back-Enders based on their chosen lifestyle and timing of their financial windfall. As corporations assume control of governmental functions, promising fiscal efficiency and a purge of misinformation, questions abound: What unforeseen consequences await in this brave new world? Enter FBI agent Edgar Gorman, whose life starts to unravel in the wake of a mysterious computer glitch that alters his very identity. Amidst the chaos, he crosses paths with the enigmatic Ketchum, a young rebel who's also trying to navigate the treacherous landscape of a society in flux. Their fates intertwine in a high-stakes game of survival and redemption that defies expectations. Zero Sum Conclusion is more than a work of fiction, it's a scathing satire that delves deep into the socio-political currents of our time, offering a stark warning of the perils that could lie ahead. With a fast-paced narrative, sharp characters, and thought-provoking themes, you'll find yourself talking about Zero Sum Conclusion long after you finish the final page.

"There are some people that walk around on two feet and others like me that run on all four." To most people, that's a bold statement. I just wish I'd been the one to say it, but I wasn't. In fact, until a few days ago, I wasn't even sure what it meant. Either you're the type of person who lives within a set of boundaries or the type who knows none. But life is never that simple, is it? No, I'd say that the most important insights about who we are, what we say, and why we do things are not always the obvious ones. Instead, they're discovered on the streets of your hometown, revealed late at night in a dark backroom, or sometimes forced upon you at knifepoint where your only choices for survival are between bad and worse. In The Art of Raising Hell, Newbie Johnson has recently moved to Bunsen Creek, Illinois, when his mother is killed in a tragic car crash. His father does his best to maintain a normal household, but his broken heart is just not up to the task. Newbie finds solace by hanging out with his three buddies in their clandestine Backroom hideout. Getting into mischief becomes their favorite pastime as they try to follow in the footsteps of Lonny Nack, who has perfected the art of running on all four. Lonny fears no one, including The Law, and soon takes his peculiar sense of justice, along with his love of practical jokes, to new heights while entertaining the colorful characters of Kickapoo County. "Running on all four" takes on a new meaning for Newbie when he finds his inner voice and begins to understand the difference between chasing life and being chased by it.
