Plot

In the future the world has seemingly reached perfection. Dale Hunter, a junior advertising executive, begins to question the nature of his reality when he is in a car accident and glitches start to appear in his vision. Seeking help from the local librarian, Wendy, the two discover that there are many things about their world, and indeed their lives, that do not hold up to close scrutiny. Dale makes repeated attempts to escape from the confines of the world he has known, with varying results.

Reception

John Ferguson of the Radio Times remarked “There are shades of The Matrix in this modest but rewarding sci-fi thriller.”[1]

gollark: Which isn't always true, or even the case a lot of the time.
gollark: See, bartering requires that party A has something party B wants, and party B has something party A wants.
gollark: This sounds like just indirected bartering. Which is problematic.
gollark: With no particular incentive to except that the "friend" might not like it otherwise?
gollark: So companies are supposed to just give goods to their "friends"...?
