"The Poors" by Harry Lorayne is a science fiction tale from the late 1950s that follows Marryl Kramvit, an alien ambassador on a goodwill mission to Earth, as he confronts a shocking truth: a vast population of "Poors" lives in squalor, starkly contrasting with the planet's wealthy elite. Through conversations with Vice President Vincent J. Carrowick and firsthand visits to the homes of the impoverished, Kramvit grapples with Earth’s bizarre social hierarchy, where success is determined by quiz show victories and the absence of a middle class leaves the Poors marginalized and ignored, revealing a poignant critique of societal indifference and the pitfalls of a meritocracy built on entertainment.
