The post-apocalyptic world isn't that bad. Sure, there are mutants. But, for the people of New Hope, daily life isn't so much a struggle of finding food or medicine as it is trying to find a new shortstop for their kickball team. This makes it difficult for a post-apocalyptic warrior to find work. Thankfully, an army full of killers is making its way to the peaceful town and plans to raze it to the ground. Only a fully trained post-apocalyptic nomadic warrior can stop them.

The corporations promised it could never happen. Of course they would say that. Their products were everywhere. They had turned everything from scarecrows to coffee makers into robots, and there wasn't a home on Earth that wasn't filled with their machines. The League for the Preservation of Humans said it was inevitable. It wouldn't be much of a league otherwise. If they gave up their cause, there'd be no need for the rallies, or the fundraisers, or the galas. And who would they feel superior to if they didn't get to lecture everyone?

Now, massive mutants roam the city, looking for something—or someone—to eat. Violent gangs fight for control of the city's remains.

Meet Algernon "Algy" Piffle, a man whose greatest life achievement was alphabetizing his sock drawer and whose daily existence revolves around the soul-crushingly specific regulations governing the Majestic Crunch biscuit. His profoundly ordinary life in the aggressively normal village of Lesser Puddleton is shattered one Tuesday afternoon – not by the expected hyperspace bypass demolition, but by something far more insidious and, frankly, embarrassing: administrative error.
