Fifty years in the future, an amazon-like company has taken over North and South America. Thirteen workers try to escape the monopoly to start their own venture. In Product Lock, An Adams and twelve other defectors hope to begin anew, but first they have to finesse their way through a landscape fraught with setbacks - all placed before them by the programmer-architect of COR.The Algos Series (Algos-- short for algorithms and from the Greek 'pain') can be read in whichever order the reader wishes. Each book corresponds to a future geographical hemisphere-- Austalasia, Euraafrica and Amero and to the mind, soul, and body.
