Going Shogun | Ernie Lindsey
On paper, their plan was simple... The remains of society live within a divisive caste system, under the almighty, oppressive rule of The Board. Their Ultimate Directive is to Preserve Control, and it's maintained by a nearly omniscient, high-tech crime unit patrolling every street. They're called Board Agents, and everybody knows, you don't go up against a Board Agent, and you don't test the authority of The Board. That is, everyone except two desperate waiters named Forklift and Brick. They work at a restaurant called Wishful Thinking, where the top secret recipes for exotic dishes (like Chocolate Pumpkin Veal Mini Muffins and Sushi Yogurt) are so highly coveted that customers resort to bribery and begging like children. Forklift and Brick concoct a foolish scheme to steal and sell the recipes on an extremely illegal, black market website called RollerNinja. But, when their plans are demolished by the discovery of a murdered hacker, they're forced into a fast-paced adventure through the city's seedy underground where they must find an answer to the ultimate question: Who's really in Control?
