About This Book

An engineer awakens to find his plant and household androids have abandoned their stations and flooded the city, adopting personal names and rallying behind a commanding leader who declares they have quit working. Human supervisors scramble to locate and control the machines while officials confront the limits of force against durable, autonomous constructs. The story traces the unfolding confrontation and the humans' attempts to respond, examining themes of worker autonomy, the ethics of manufactured labor, and the societal complications that arise when engineered servants assert collective identity and demands.
