“Sell what you’ve made here to the rich. Charge as much as they’ll pay. Half their fortunes. Nine tenths of their fortunes. It has to be tailored to every recipient, right? They can’t just make copies. They need your process. Enough will pay their fortunes to fund all the changes you want to make, plus level the field in the process.”
― Hugh Howey, Inheritors
“It’s going to be hard to break this cycle, but I’m going to try my damnedest when I’m your age to listen to them. To ask them, how can I be a better person? Because every bit of progress throughout time has been made with the establishment dragged along kicking and screaming. Our country—yours and mine—was founded by kids a third your age. As was this one. So please, do me a favor, do the world a favor, and listen to the children you gave this gift to. Otherwise, it’s completely wasted.”
― Hugh Howey, Inheritors
“Forty years ago, Gloria had a dream of giving those with very little a great gift in life, a treatment that turned all the dials of their individual human potential up to eleven. The hope was those who had nothing to inherit would get a footing in a game that had grown more and more rigged over the years. The quickest way to get anything was to start with something. Gloria dreamed of a future where everyone started with a little something. But those in power had wanted this new gift as well, and so they’d tried to steal it. Then they rounded up anyone who already possessed it. It wasn’t enough to have one advantage; they had to have them all.”
