The Martyr

"Let us suppose that the human condition can be pictured as a ferris wheel standing at the North Pole. This ferries wheel contains nine seats. They are labeled such: Lower Class, Middle Class, Upper Class, Jealousy, Ambition, Greed, Sadism, Masochism, and Religion [...] Where one gets on is simply a freak accident. It really makes no difference – all the seats are connected and bolted to the wheel by Choice and Acceptance. So in other words, one may board the wheel on the Lower Class seat and choose to move ahead to the Middle or Upper Class seats [...] Advancement is usually a long, hard process that throws many people from their seats for the benefit of one. Is such a profit worth it? What has been gained other than a sick, tired old body, free of friends and fun? Capital gain! Position! [...] The wheel turns round and round and so does the scramble. The last seat may be full of riders, but hell if they have anything to ride on." – Richard G. Merciez, 1975

Elysium

In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes, a hard line government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that, if successful, will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.
