Majority by Abby Goldsmith
In this action-packed space opera adventure, one disadvantaged hero must ask himself: How do you defeat a galactic horde that reads your every thought?
The Majority always gets what it wants. Thomas just wishes it didn’t want him. There’s no way to escape a galactic mob of mind readers, no way to blend in with his foster family and other average Americans. Because Thomas invented a way to save his own life. His custom medicine halts the progress of his degenerative neuromuscular disease.
However, there are supergeniuses like Thomas in the Majority. In fact, it is shepherded by them. Some, such as the teenage Upward Governess, are secretly trying to break free from the social constraints of the Majority ruled mob so they can become unchallenged masters of all living things.
If Thomas is going to end the tyranny of supergeniuses and their sycophants and slaves, he’ll need power. Lots of power. He might have to risk liberating a superhuman gladiator. Oh, and he’ll need to figure out a way to fool thirty trillion telepaths…
