About This Book

A meticulous production manager fixates on efficiency and pattern recognition, then hires a meek, enigmatic new worker whose raw aptitude rapidly solves complex fabrication and planning problems. As the manager watches the stranger rearrange processes and live a solitary, spare life, he discovers inexplicable parts and mismatched drawings that suggest an unfamiliar origin. The story traces the manager's escalating curiosity and unease, examining themes of obsession with order, the disruption caused by an alien competence, and the unsettling boundary between human systems and other intelligences.
