About the Book

Dreams, robots and revolution collide when a crane operator's co-workers get paid to be obsolete. In the glittering solarpunk metropolis of Toronto 2045, astral projecting crane operator Auden Black clings to a world increasingly dominated by machines. As robot aloos replace his fellow workers and friends are bottom lined, paid to be replaced, Auden's crane becomes both refuge and watchtower. Witness a future where ad-projecting systems blur reality, virtual lives offer escape from unemployment, and the human spirit is tested against the relentless march of progress. Through Auden's eyes, experience a quiet life suspended between techno-optimistic utopia and dystopian horror at losing one's purpose, where every sunrise brings new challenges to what it means to be human in an automated age. After all, what are we if we don't work?

Review :
"The fact that it's not about the machines trying to kill us all is a breath of fresh air in a media landscape dominated by fears of technology rather than people using it. In other words, you shouldn't be afraid of the hammer, you should be afraid of the psycho billionaire looking to smash your skull and sell your brain for money, or something like that. Overall, it's a very interesting book that gave me a lot to think about, and I think you should read it, too." Evil Roda, Goodreads "This isn't a novel to save the world, or give a definitive answer of any kind of the rise of automation, robotics and AI. It's a quiet, anxious soul's experience going through it, attempting to discover as we all do, how what we do reflects who we are, and what happens when that changes, whether they want it to or not. It hits the rising anxiety of what we do with artificial intelligence and robotics, in a poignant, albeit softer approach. If you're looking for adventure, look elsewhere. If you're looking for the everyday person and their reactions to being let go by robots far more efficient than themselves, and left to open endings about the nature of humanity, then give The Bottom Line a read." Sapha Burnell, author of NEON Lieben, Char & Ash and Usurper Kings
