Given: Earth 400 years from now — a rotten society in which mankind is doomed to die out.
A solution to the problem — an ultra-intelligent computer to govern humanity.
One man of seemingly average intelligence, but with an incredible I.Q. potential.
And you have: A corrupt society turned into a world where there is no corruption, because Mother Machine knows what's best for her human children and does it. Where that same all-powerful computer is rapidly turning men into zombies.
And where the world's only hope turns out to be one outlawed not-average man.
Result: An unusual science-fiction thriller.
