About this book
In a world where telekinetic abilities and psi powers redefine the stakes of gambling, "Vigorish" by Walter Bupp presents a gripping exploration of human ambition and ethical dilemmas. As players navigate a landscape where their minds can influence outcomes, the novella delves into the intricacies of chance and control, revealing the tension between luck and skill. Unique elements such as the concept of "vigorish," a term denoting the house's edge, and the moral quandaries of using psychic abilities in high-stakes environments challenge readers to consider the implications of power. Ideal for students and civic activists, this thought-provoking science fiction novella invites critical reflection on the nature of risk and responsibility in an increasingly complex society.
