Summary

‘Company Man’ is an exciting sci-fi thriller, that explores potent themes of AI, existence itself, and unrestrained corporate power, with a human story at its core, that of a family divided by the insidious threads of this deftly built dystopian world. In the world of this remarkable and unforgettable novel, life can now be lived out in a digital realm. You may choose a partner who is pliable, programmable. If you aren’t replaced, you might be hanging on by a thread. Living under the Envirodome, the citizens of Municipalis scurry about like ants. The question is, who has their sullied hands on the magnifying glass? The dying sun may still yet proof sufficient to torch from on high. Abram works for the most powerful company on the planet, they hold the keys to the doors of artificial life. Yet despite this power, their avarice and thirst for control knows no bounds. But surely family is sacred, right? A man of cerebral complexity and talents in manipulation must fight for what he holds dear, but will his own demons get in the way. In a world where existence, experiences and memories are ultimately agnostic, a question pervades throughout - what is it that defines life exactly?

Pinkerton Agent, Blake Bentley, has been ignoring his superior’s telegrams about training a female agent as most of the other agents were doing.

Besides, she would be able to help him catch his thief, as long as she doesn’t try to catch his heart, as well.
