Those who succeed become high I.Q.s and enjoy all of the benefits this brings; those who fail lead squalid lives and some eventually become I.Q. 30 glidiots, battling in the Glidiot Games in a pop-up maze where they kill one another for I.Q. points and for public amusement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e100s are not taught to read or write and believe that Corporate City is the last city remaining on Earth after an earlier war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe city is surrounded by The Great Wall - a ten storey construction that encircles the metropolis and separates it from the nuclear Wasteland beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoseph and his typical 100 family are attending the Glidiot Games, when he recognises the winner of the night.
