Loser's Flight

Exiled in the company of a boy who seems just as innocent, Susa finds herself pursued, and soon discovers that the world outside is the least of her troubles. Susa is an innocent girl whose view of the world is conditioned by a society where all physical needs are met by Automatics that operate beyond human control, giving the gift of civilization... but only for a lucky few.
