Produktbeschreibung
Joseph is young and wealthy, with no need to work. One day on a whim, he decides he needs to get a job. Choosing a city building at random, he gets in a lift and ends up in an employment agency called 'White World' where, through his own foolishness, he gets the job he did not want. Joseph's subsequent travels take him through four surreal worlds, each representing different aspects of capitalism, raising questions about the nature of self-determination and agency in money-driven societies. Joseph's career takes him through the white anthill of the worker, to the darkness of ruthless desert, a grey film studio complex of fear and finally to the Farm. The protagonist starts out as a selfish fool. However, his experiences change him into a complex man who is looking for his true self.
