Synopsis
In an alternate version of the 2010s, the Mental Parity Movement has made it illegal to recognize intelligence, turning 'stupid' into the ultimate slur. Pearson Copley watches in horror as her lifelong friend Emory climbs the ranks of this new social order by embracing its radical anti-intellectualism. As the world abandons merit for a forced equality of mind, Pearson must decide how much she is willing to risk to speak the truth.
