Brave New World (A No Gods or Kings novel)

By Thomas Judge

Superheroes in the popular comic books of the time spent their time fighting muggers and thieves, gangs and mobsters, supervillains and aliens. The question is actually an obvious one.Why didn't they try to fix humanity's real problems? Why didn't they engage with the real issues?My contact with Legion has - in many ways - left me with more questions than ever before. I saw something, during the briefest instant that he reached out with his...his mind? His power? Whatever it was, it seemed to resonate with something in my memory. It has occurred to me - and even the thought of this is terrifying - that there is the possibility that this memory does not belong to me. That I experienced something that belonged to Legion, the result of some kind of unwitting mental connection. I could dismiss all these points. The memory that I believe I experienced could have been a glitch, caused by a temporary overload that itself was due to the power surge caused by Legion's touch. The sensory data could be flawed or simple input error. The things I thought I saw and heard could just be a series of corrupted data sets.I tell myself all this, but none of these hollow assurances answer what is really bothering me. Why did I instinctively lie about it?'I'm being quoted to introduce something but I have no idea what it is and certainly don't endorse it' - Randall Munroe, creator of xkcdSeason One of No Gods of Kings launched in May 2017 with the publication of Episode One - Arrivals.
