It's the year 2084. Powerful machine minds known as Artilects run our economy...and our sex lives. Humans are free--and unnecessary. We can watch the Olympics on the Moon in virtual reality; upload our consciousness into flawless cybernetic bodies; have complicated emotional relationships with our washing machines. Demented robot sex fetishes and virtual Drug-Love keep us from losing our minds in a world over run by self-replicating nanotechnology, rapidly accelerating Artificial Intelligence, and a new form of capitalism based on data mining the history of human consciousness.
From this world, we meet the characters Mark and his AI house, Harold, who may or may not have an ulterior motive that involves sex and politics; Kip and his increasingly flirtatious washing machine, Cher; and Phil, who risks his life--as well as his minimum wage job filing documents for a house-sized robot--to try and save the human race from being eviscerated by blood-thirsty capitalist robots.
It's the future--do the robot...
