Summary

Set in a near-future dystopia, Marc-Uwe Kling’s "Qualityland" offers a satirical exploration of a hyper-digitalized society where technology, algorithms, and consumerism dictate almost every aspect of life. Through sharp wit and absurd scenarios, the narrative presents a world where efficiency and personalization are taken to such extremes that individuality, privacy, and critical thought are at risk. The story follows Peter Jobless, an unremarkable man caught in the gears of this automated utopia, as he embarks on a journey that challenges the very foundations of his society.
