I’m watching a documentary on the parallels between the market crash of 1929, and the market crash in 2008(last year). I was reminded of the exploits of Adam Zimmerman, of Brian Stableford’s Emortality series, where Adam used his brilliance in the stock markets to cause a massive market crash, while the masters of the business world buy everything up cheaply for pennies on the dollar.

This bears frightening parallels to what happened last year. The only real difference is that Adam engineered the collapse in 2025. One has to wonder if maybe Stableford was right, but just a bit wrong as to when it would happen?
