‘How Much For Prime Minister?’, a story by Roderick Leeuwenhart, read to you by Joshua Baumgarten Your identity is no longer something you can decide for yourself: you have to claim it from a highly regulated authority. The government determined the optimal mix of all possible identities in society using ‘game theory’: a certain percentage of gays, a certain percentage of rock fans, so many homeless persons and so many traders. This leads to harrowing situations when your assigned identity isn’t consistent with who you really are but deviating from it is punishable. A black market in identities emerged. How much for prime minister? This is a story from literary magazine for Grounded SF "2.3.74" (3), with stories from the Netherlands and Flanders. Read all stories at www.magazine2374.com/.
