Highest Treason
The year is somewhere in humanity's future, and equality has finally been achieved. No one is poor, no one is rich, and absolutely no one is allowed to be better than anyone else. Advancement comes not from talent or hard work but from seniority alone. Colonel Sebastian MacMaine is a brilliant military officer trapped in a society that criminalizes his very abilities - a man whose competence is itself a kind of treason. When war comes, he faces an impossible choice: serve a system designed to diminish him, or defect to the enemy and become the very traitor his society always feared. Garrett's satirical masterpiece asks uncomfortable questions about what equality truly costs, and whether a utopia that crushes individual excellence is truly paradise or a different kind of prison.
