"One cannot win a game if the opponent is cheating; in fact, if the opponent is cheating, they are not even playing the same game."

As always, thanks to Isaac Arthur and the SFIA team for the inspiring theme! Based on the SFIA theme: "Automated Economies & Unemployment" Video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=kI_YYPzX5u0

If you prefer to read rather than listen, a PDF of the story formatted for tablets & e-readers is available on the story's page on my website linked below:

About this project: I am writing a weekly sci-fi story based on the theme of Isaac Arthur’s SFIA videos. It’s a crazy challenging timeframe to create a good short story in, and to do so publicly is even more daunting. I’m just hoping some good stories come out of this and I have fun writing them.

Thanks for stopping by!
