It is said that “No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.” We are one connected island of social interaction, we are all together and yet we are all worlds apart.

I am the Face Value system and I am going to change the way humans look at themselves.

A young man is sitting in front of his computer and mobile phone working on his scores in his Face Value Application.

“Congratulations Hank, you have improved your Face Value score and now you are eligible for your next job,” says the computer, the message is repeated on the mobile of the young man.

There is a knock on the door of the apartment.

The young twenty-five-year-old sits up straight in his wheelchair and moves towards the door.

He raises his hand and opens the two latches and he pulls off the door chain.

He peeps through the narrow opening in the door and sees four strangers outside.

He opens the door nervously, he observes the men outside his door with suspicion.

The young man opens the door fully.

“Mr. Hank Burton your country needs you. You are to be appointed as the new President of the united new world.”
