Description
QualityLand is a dystopian novel that explores a world where technology has created a highly optimised society. In this future, everything is geared towards personal improvement and efficiency.
The story follows Peter Jobless, a down-and-out metal press operator who begins to suspect that the technology that rules his life may have a fatal flaw. As he navigates his own existential crisis, he discovers that even the most advanced robots are not immune to problems - from erectile dysfunction in a sex droid to PTSD in a combat robot.
As Peter delves deeper into the world of QualityLand, he must confront the possibility that his only friends may be malfunctioning A.I. systems. With its unique blend of science fiction and philosophical themes, this novel raises important questions about the nature of humanity and our relationship with technology.
