Through the screen of his computer, a man watches a squirrel running
about in a forest. For the better half of his life he has been drifting
from job to job, diligently designing work-automating systems, and being
rendered redundant by those systems. As he observes the squirrel, we
observe him; and as he imagines the squirrel's world, we imagine his.
The Squirrel Awakes is a quiet meditation on 21st century life and a
compelling look at the direction society is heading.
