QualityLand
Book • 2017
In 'QualityLand', Marc-Uwe Kling presents a satirical vision of a future where technology and algorithms govern every aspect of life.
The story is set in QualityLand, a society where a universal ranking system determines social advantages, career opportunities, and even romantic partners.
Peter Jobless, a machine scrapper, feels out of place in this highly automated world and becomes the leader of a group of robotic misfits.
When Peter receives an unwanted product from TheShop, the dominant company in QualityLand, he decides to return it, which challenges the infallible algorithms and the very foundations of the society.
The book is a sharp critique of consumer culture, technology, and the impact of algorithms on human relationships and identity, balanced with humor and absurd scenarios.
