DiyOome
Human progress isn't suppressed by evil supervillains or shadowy assassins. It's suppressed by exhausted middle managers, corporate apathy, and administrative convenience.
In 1978, Arthur joined a black-site division of the US Patent and Trademark Office to stamp "Approved" on the future. Forty eight years later, he is an eccentric, wealthy examiner hiding a massive secret: he is a deep cover operative for the Eden Project.
When a defunded civilian accidentally submits a patent that solves limitless zero-point energy, Arthur's dual life collides. With only eight months left until his retirement, an invisible clerk prepares to unleash a graveyard of human advancement onto the world through a flawlessly executed digital dead drop.
