In the year 2113, the world is a very different place. The last humans left Earth, and the only remaining inhabitants are machines. The Man Who Was Saturday is a computer program that takes the place of a human on Saturday morning, and he is the last link to the human world. One Saturday, the program is damaged, and the next Saturday, it is missing. The people in the computer world are frantic, and the Man Who Was Saturday is their only hope. They find out that he washes ashore on a small, remote island, and they set out to find him. Along the way, they discover a hidden world, and they learn about the sacrifices that people make to keep the human race alive.; 8vo; $7.00.
