![]() ![]() Security is lax, racism is as present as it's always been, supervisors can harass employees without consequences, and living conditions are a few steps above those of a prison. Cloud has built a series of company towns, and they're places where working hard comes before anything else. However – surprise, surprise - not everything about it is as amazing as it seems. Cloud uses drones for fast delivery, and in an increasingly dangerous world, the ability to shop without leaving the house is something no one passes up. With more than 30 million employees, it is the place everyone uses to get everything they need. But start looking at how plausible it is, notice all the ways in which the things Hart describes - awful healthcare, limited employment opportunities, and global monopolies - are already here, and it becomes a horrific cautionary tale that makes you wonder if we're already too far into a disastrous future, or if there's still some hope for humanity.Ĭloud is the biggest company in the world. ![]() ![]() Rob Hart's The Warehouse is an entertaining read as a slightly dystopian cyberthriller.
