When technology creates a perfect world, count on humans to make a mess of it...
A machine-engineered perfect society meant to liberate humans from problems has instead made them unnecessary. But a bright, young policeman is about to change all that in this appealing, inspired blend of sci-fi-detective-noir from the creator, director and editor of innovative film/TV works, including The Kill Corporation (YouTube series) with over 1 million views.
For fans of Martha Wells, Ann Leckie, and Phillip K. Dick.
Intelligent robots have so advanced technology that humans don't need to work, get sick or starve; crime is nonexistent, and if a crime is committed, it's instantly solved by all-seeing, all-powerful information networks. The only role for human police is in climbing the stairs that their wheeled-robotic partners can't manage.
But the seemingly impossible seems to have happened: a murder has been committed. Officer Leo Song, a motivated but unskilled human cop, has to solve the perplexing case on his own...while also trying to discover the fate of his machine partner, Detective Waterbird, before Waterbird's 'life' drains out with his power supply. Learning his job as he goes, Leo plunges into the mysteries of a world no longer made by, or for, humans. What he discovers could spell the extinction of humanity-or ignite its resurgence!
