- "Net Worth"
- David Chato
- Issue #49 August 7 1998
- What is your net worth? Mattison Honnegger lives in a world where everything is credit and your net worth is carefully tracked. When his electronic accounts suddenly turn up zero, he finds himself unable to do anything, he can't even get into his apartment. He eventually finds himself on the outside of the city, where all of the derelicts live. He tries to tell people that he's a person of importance, that the system made a mistake and he shouldn't be there. He actually finds a woman who believes him--because that's her job. He tells him that yes, the system made a mistake; but they can't let the public find out or they may lose confidence in it. He is executed, to keep him quiet, and the system carries on.
