...Technological developments are a further hallmark of this past millennium. We have developed the three-field system, cultivating great fields of legumes to replenish the soil and increase our food supply. We have created the heavy iron plow, which can bite through the heavy earth of Northern Europe. We have even unleashed the mighty power of the horse, with a new stirrup for shock combat and a collar that enables horses to pull heavy weights without choking them to death...

When the IOP conceived of the selection process some 30 years ago, the institute hoped that such a system would establish a spirit that would perpetually replenish the SAC's leadership with charismatic and visionary students. Who better to identify the undergraduates best fit to take the reins of an organization than those who had braved the demands of the positions themselves?

An underground electronic economy emerges, invisible to U.S. tax code. The Federal Government, unable to replenish its coffers, let alone fund a standing army, shrinks until it wields about as much power as a local zoning board. Militias and gangs take over, setting up checkpoints at state borders and demanding tribute of all who pass...
