Mandated Happiness
Mandated Happiness by Clayton Tucker, published by Atmosphere Press on February 15, 2019, is a thought-provoking exploration of a future shaped by automation and technology. In this world, traditional jobs have vanished, resources are abundant, and death has been eradicated. The narrative follows Rick, who works a single day each year as a host for individuals engaging in “death tourism,” a popular activity in this cybertarian society where bots maintain strict control through a comprehensive social media platform known as Lifestream.
As Rick becomes disillusioned with the monotony of his existence, he encounters a mysterious woman who helps him recover his lost memories, including those of war and the people who could guide him toward a more meaningful future. This edition, comprising 274 pages, delves into themes of identity and the implications of a technologically dominated life, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of happiness in a world where everything is dictated by machines.
Official synopsis Publisher
In Mandated Happiness, automation and technology have eliminated all (real) jobs, made resources effectively infinite, and even cured death. In this brave new cybertarian world, bots control everything with an iron fist, using an all-in-one social media platform called Lifestream to control the masses.
With “death tourism” all the rage, we find Rick working his one-day-a-year job as host for those recycling their lives over and over again. But when Rick grows bored with endlessly repeating the same experiences, he meets a mysterious woman who causes him to regain his original memories–memories of war and the ones who will light the path towards a new and better future.
