"I have created for each of you a fate, one tailored specifically for your needs and desires. Each of you has a defining momentnot before, not afterwhen a wrong turn or decision led to the disastrous outcome that you and I mourn. To isolate that malignant moment is an exacting, exhaustive process, which only the most welltrained and competent professionals, armed with the most sophisticated of predictive models and processing power, can accomplish. You can put your trust in me, as you would in an expert surgeon, a surgeon of the soul."On a distant planet overlooking Earth, the nameless protagonist ofThe Compensation Bureauis one of a team of Actuaries at work on the innovative Lazarus Project. Conceived in response to the shocking violence observed in humankind, the project identifies people who have wrongfully died at the hands of otherswhether victims of war, hate crimes, or random brutalityand attempts to compensate for the cruelty and pain they faced in life and death.But balancing the accounts for the sufferings and wrongdoings of humanity proves hardly a clinical exercise. The Actuary soon finds himself personally invested in the projects mission, and the goals of the project itself are complicated as the fate of Earths inhabitants becomes more uncertain.The Compensation Bureauexplores the power of individual and collective action, from a writer hailed byThe Washington Postas a worldnovelist of the first category.
