Synopsis

“We are killing people in their millions. Please, at least admit that this is wrong." "No. Why? Do you think that killing is always wrong? Do you think that defending yourself is wrong?” A new form of artificial intelligence, called Universal Programming Language (“UPL”) is pioneered by Mike Goodman; a young, handsome and brilliant business consultant. UPL’s labour-replacing capabilities create a clear division between those who have the intellect and creativity to use this technology, who “add value” (“VA’s), and those who don’t (“NVA’s”). Mike sets up the Sanctuaries; places where VA's can live work and play in safety, far removed from the NVA’s. The NVA’s include Dave Bradley, a middle class man with a beautiful wife and small child. Dave’s comfortable life is completely destroyed by UPL. Dave experiences at first hand the chaos organised by a secret VA organisation dedicated to eliminating the NVA’s. He helps lead the rebellion, which is spearheaded by the People’s Liberation Front, a direct-action group set up in response to the secret organisation's cold hearted plan.
