It's amazing how significantly our lives can change in such a short amount of time. Whether it's a fateful meeting with an old friend, a chance event, or an epiphany that seems to materialize from thin air, the lifelong chain of events that follow forever set us on a different path.
    
    My life changed in a matter of minutes. The choices I made led me to a life of crime and caused me to become the worst sort of criminal; I became a traitor to the Country of New York. For better or worse, the path my life has taken is irreversible.
    
    I've killed, I've died, and I've risked my life in attempt to destroy a society built on over one hundred years of lies and corruption. Though I have regrets, I'm proud of the way I handled things.
    
    My name is Jacob Ashton, and this is my story.

Working As Thinkers, the citizens of the Slums are paid for their thoughts and given vouchers needed to sustain their cost of living.

    In Absolute Knowledge, every thought has a price.
