Más información sobre el libro
Welcome to QualityLand, where a universal ranking system dictates social status and career prospects. An automated matchmaking service finds ideal partners and facilitates breakups when preferences change. TheShop, the leading company, anticipates your desires and delivers products before you even order them. In QualityCity, Peter Jobless, a machine scrapper, struggles with destroying flawed machines and inadvertently becomes the leader of a group of robotic misfits at his home and workplace. One day, he receives an unwanted product from TheShop and decides to return it, risking personal consequences. This act challenges the infallibility of TheShop’s algorithms and questions the very essence of QualityLand. This work is a clever, satirical exploration reminiscent of the styles of Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and George Orwell, providing a thought-provoking and humorous look at a potentially unsettling future. Don't hesitate—TheShop already knows you'll enjoy this experience. Head to the cash register, open the book, and discover why it’s destined to resonate with you.
