They do not call him Mr. President or Excellency.

They call him PC, a clear allusion to a computer. He has control over everything and uses his people as cattle, and often as meat for his food. In the long process, he slowly changes into a dangerous monster-like being. Can he, by any chance, still build his connection with humankind, and become a man?

His Personal Assistance is rather called PA, and quickly changes this to Program Analyst, a name he only shares with his closest friends. He pretends to have absolute control over PC, and advises him for the worst, least human reactions.

A cook, named Coop, stands between PC and PA. Though he does not understand anything about the computer configuration, and its system control, can PC be more human?

The novel questions the limits of humankind and PC's possibility to restore integrity once he has animalized.
