L. X. Beckett’s 2019 Gamechanger is a standalone science fiction novel.

The crises of the 21st centuries brought global disaster, but also reform. In the modern era, trolls and wasters are no longer tolerated. Society expects conservationist, socially responsible behavior, as enforced by a universal social scoring system.
