Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"Nobody around here reads anymore. Why bother, when you can just use a mindprobe needle and shoot all the images and excitement into your brain? I've heard of books, but they were long before I was born, in the backtimes before the Big Shake, when everything supposedly was perfect, and everybody lived rich. Personally, I doubt the backtimes ever existed. It's like a story you tell to make yourself feel better. As if having a past makes the future somehow worth believing in. In real life, nobody comes to your rescue. Believe me, I know. But then I met Ryter, this old gummy who had a lot of crazy ideas. Together we tried to change the world..."A 2000 young adult novel by by Rodman Philbrick who you might know as the author of Freak the Mighty.

After the End: It's heavily implied that a very large part of humanity was wiped out in a massive earthquake.

Bittersweet Ending: Ryter's dead and The Urb has fallen into chaos after being cut off from mindprobes, which are essentially drugs. On the other hand, Bean has been cured of her illness, Little Face has a new home with Lanaya's family in Eden, and Spaz is continuing Ryter's work. The boom ends with Lanaya and Spaz, now called Ryter himself, promising that when they grow up, they will make things better.

Body Horror: Mongo The Magnificent, a once-powerful latchboss who's left in his mindprobe for an entire year. His hair's fallen out, his body's emaciated almost to the bone, he's lying oblivious in his own filth, and his brains are literally oozing out of his head.
