About This Book
A troupe of immigration and customs inspectors trade wry, episodic anecdotes about processing human arrivals, recounting smuggling tricks, miscommunications, and odd encounters that reveal the routines of their work. The narrative moves through short vignettes of inspection, ridicule, and procedural improvisation, culminating in a bureaucratic decision that reshuffles how humans are handled. The tone blends dry humor with bureaucratic tedium, using small incidents to expose institutional prejudice, absurd regulations, and the practical frustrations of border control in a speculative environment.
