About This Book

A half-human, half-robot survivor of a catastrophic accident seeks passage from a remote mining colony back to Earth, only to be blocked by opaque corporate and psychological orders. He confronts a ticket agent and later a psycho-lab doctor while experiencing the social isolation and bureaucratic prejudice of subsurface mining life. The narrative follows his attempt to reclaim agency and learn why authorities bar his return, exploring tensions among technological reconstruction, personal identity, and institutional control as he faces resentment, secrecy, and the disorienting condition of being neither fully human nor machine.
