I have developed a new financial instrument which will be much more valuable than the bonds or the treasury bills government sells on the open market to raise much needed funds to run the country.

The Perihelion by D.M. Wozniak is literary, character-driven science fiction at its best. Set in 2069, The Perihelion comprises a world where there are hybrid humans with 1% animal or insect DNA, called 99ers.
