What happens when magical superpowers are common in a world just like ours?
Dan Sullivan's out of a job, that's what. In a world where roughly 20% of the world has superpowers, it's pretty difficult to just be just ordinary. Previously, ordinary life was what you'd be used to - graduate from school, jump through a couple of hoops, and then land a job and hopefully make a decent living.
Now, when a significant population of the world has powers, some of which are actually life-changing, being just "ordinary" Dan Sullivan is not enough. The world has changed, in some ways small and insignificant, and in other ways so much that it's an impossible chasm to jump.
Is it still possible to be special, in a world of specials?
