This comedy is set far into the future when technology has taken over the world. In this dystopia of txtspeak, video game domination, and Wii Church, John has difficulty connecting with the people around him.
He is an enigma, spending all of his time reading books rather than browsing through Facebook. Books are alien to this society; they have become outdated. Reading books, among other odd behaviors, results in John being sent away by his own family. He is taken to The Facility, in order to be 'fixed.' Here he must plead his case with the Agent, a domineering woman who takes her job quite seriously.
Will John succeed? What will happen to him in this curious place?
