BLACK AND WHITE VERSION: Peter Harkness is a brilliant prototype engineer, and one of the few humans lucky enough to score a job, at a company that designs automatons. The irony is not lost on him. Corporations are manufacturing countless automatons to replace human workers, and not just in menial jobs. His first day of work is spent gingerly avoiding the numerous protest zones of the jobless that appear along his route. He hunches his shoulders and pulls his head down as he passes by. He understands their anger, but he has no choice. He must eat. It's a devil's bargain. He makes uneasy allies where he least expects, and finds enemies that were waiting for him all along. Peter must determine how, or if, he will deal with the madness around him. Merely crunching numbers won't be enough. A near-future dystopian world, reminiscent of Asimov, Heinlein and the golden age of science fiction.
