About This Book

An alien ambassador visits Earth escorted by a government official and tours cities while a broadcast camera follows, observing a society sharply divided into an affluent class and an entrenched underclass called the Poors. The visitor notices segregation in public life and learns the division is rooted in generations of televised quiz show winners whose success confers wealth and status, while losers remain excluded. The story examines how mass media and ritualized contests have institutionalized inequality and normalized social separation.
