Mr. Zero is just another cog. He can’t fulfill his own needs, much less those of his wife Mrs. Zero, or his workwife Daisy. But when his boss replaces him with a machine, Mr. Zero lashes out violently, thrusting him on a wild journey where he must engineer his own fate. Despite being written over 100 years ago, this wild satire remains scarily current today.
