We follow along with the character Henri, who is a wealthy physician, husband, father, and \u00abserial philanderer\u00bb. He is also one of the relatively few people to still have a job.\u00a0Automation and other technological advances have led to unemployment so severe that many people are no longer expected to work and are now known as \u201cThe Absolved.\u201d\u00a0Meanwhile, it\u2019s election season, and a candidate from a radical fringe party called the Luddites is calling for an end to the \u201cDivine Rights of Machines.\u201d After Henri is displaced from his job, two Luddite sympathizers\u2014whom Henri has befriended at his local bar\u2014frame him for an anti-technology terrorist act. The prospect of Henri\u2019s salvation comes at the cost of foregoing his guiding principles in life. This new vision for the world, after all, just might prove better than the technological advancements that, paradoxically, have left humanity out in the cold. <span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Apple Books<\/span>: <strong>US$3.99<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","tags":[38084],"class_list":["post-54476","cool-stuff-found","type-cool-stuff-found","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-apple-books"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
