About this ebook
Robotic suits that people wear are all the rage and the hottest status symbol. They make life easier for their owners and a lot more fun! The first problem with the suits is that they are very expensive. Oswald “Wally” Manske, a humble mailroom clerk, saved up for most of his life for a suit and now he's finally got it. He's looking forward to his new life of popularity and easy times. The second problem with the suits is that they can be hacked and turned against their owners...A short sci-fi story.
