He navigated through the darkness and in amongst the hum of ventilators, feeling his way to the small switch of his desk lamp. He was placed, as he called it, in the pod room. All around him hung gigantic pods like bulbous wasp nests, vibrating incessantly, no doubt engaged in some task beyond his mortal comprehension. He took off his hat, scarf and Trenchcoat, folding them neatly over the back of his chair. The time was now 8:05 - he had achieved another day on time much to the relief of his crippling anxiety, and could now peacefully sit and contemplate the absurdity of his position for the remaining eight and a half hours of his working day.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a future that's coming for all of us.
