==Hope Denied==
:(The full title of this eBook is "Hope Denied: How the backlash against Augmentation technology is hampering the understanding of human biology, impeding medical science, and engendering senseless loss of life."Game asset file: m02_775b_ebk_escape_rucker_ebook_sequel_is_unfinished_en.textlist)
In the short period of time which followed the Incident
NOTES:
- Is it disingenuous to refer to it as merely "the Incident"?
--- "the so-called Aug Incident" Is that better, or does it draw distracting attention to the accusatory nature of the term?
- FIND A WAY TO WRITE THE INTRODUCTION WITHOUT REFERRING TO THE EVENT.

:(This eBook is part of the same series as Bob Page - Anatomy of a Prodigy, "Acquisitions" chapterGame asset file: m05_002_ebkbank_bank_vault_versalife_en.textlist)
Early Beginnings
An only child, Page lived and lost luxury without truly understanding it-- his father, an investment banker, was ruined in the 2007 financial crisis. Page and his mother were left to bootstrap their lives from scratch, and neither would come out of the experience unscathed. Already ferociously competitive as a teenager, the act of clawing his way back to the life Page had been accustomed to was the catalyst required to form the aggressively focused business visionary the world would come to know.
Autodidactic, his only interest in learning from his mentors and betters was to outperform, beat and shame them. He was a jock in nerd's clothing, his yearbook recalling an intense young man warily admired by those peers who never faced his viciousness. Then and now, Page played competitive squash as a contact sport. One of his only memories of his estranged father: dried blood blackening on the court under fluorescent lights.
After his acceptance into Stanford on a low-income family grant, he created, patented, and sold two data-scraping technologies for social networking sites before graduating with a doctorate in machine learning. His growing profile attracted the attention of tech magnate Morgan Everett, and the two became firm professional friends.
==CASSAN ON THE CASE==

Excerpt of interview with Nathaniel Brown
ELIZA CASSAN: Tell me about the thinking behind that controversial decision.
NATHANIEL BROWN: Well, Eliza. We don't think of it as controversial at all. They are a valuable workforce. Have been for a long time.
EC: But, Mr. Brown, in the wake of that horrific Incident... There is certain to be some backlash against a company that hires so many augmented.
NB: Perhaps, but we're confident that when people see the difference we... ~they~ are making, attitudes will change. The augmented are willing to help rebuild what they destroyed.
EC: Willing or coerced?
NB: I see what you're getting at. The truth is, we have to work within the legislative constraints the UN and participant countries have set. It does mean our augs are licensed exclusively to Santeau, but as of today, no one else is willing to hire them.
EC: You mean they have no choice?
NB: Everyone has a choice, Eliza. But right now, I think Santeau represents the best option available to the augmented population.
