It's the near future and Will, supported purely by the Universal Basic Income, spends his days playing video games while devouring piping hot noodles, delivered straight to his room by roaming DeliveryBots. Gamers are starving to death, but Will's more focussed on showing he's the best strategist in the world, and to do that he needs the help of his new autonomous flying selfie camera. One problem: the SelfieBot insists it's not a robot at all, but a human consciousness trapped inside a machine. To uncover the truth, he must sneak past automated robot guards with bad cockney accents, avoid lasers from swooping DefenceBots, escape explosions from anti-automation activists, outwit two murderous brothers, and flee from a human resources director hell-bent on exacting revenge on her cheating boss. He might even get to eat those piping hot noodles.

The year is 2040 and Eric Roberts hates technology. In an era where automated systems and A.I. robots carry out most work obligations, these advancements have rendered scores of humans societally useless. Aimlessly wandering about, the displaced people struggle with their new reality-a hardship painfully familiar to Eric. Once a neuropsychologist, his professional livelihood unceremoniously ended when medical tech forced him into obsolescence. Now a community therapist, he spends his days working with the displaced, helping them craft meaning in a world that no longer needs them. Then Eric's world upends when Arvin-an A.I. robot-arrives at the counseling center for mental health services. Reluctantly, Eric has to work with the embodiment of his misery, and while doing so, unearths a damning secret. With his life at a low point, he figures there's no harm in shelving his professional obligations and investigating the mystery. However, he quickly finds out that solving the unknown will only be possible with help from a most unlikely source.
