'The Chip Shop'

Some have wondered about the distant future, what it holds, what will we become? All of us have wondered about the near future, our own future. We ask ourselves what is going to happen to us tommorow and what can we do about it. The chip shop is a story about the near future, a future where todays 'conditions and trends' have become tommorows 'consequences and realities'. Taking up the threads of our present day advances, aspirations and adversities and follows them into our tommorow to try and take a look at the tommorow that we are weaving for ourselves. In the year 2066 the invention of a microchip which can be directly implanted onto the surface of the human brain. A human 'plugin' that acts as an implanted calculator and removes the need to learn Mathematics in the classroom, a shortcut to learning that removes the need to learn basic Maths in the classroom. However it doesnt function in the way its creators thought it would. Danl Rook, a political historian, who like most other people has severaloccupations to make ends meet. He is an educator and a business negotiator, in a world where anonymity is paramount. He is a contented with his home life and satisfied with his occupational exsistance. However, tradegy and manipulation place him in a situation whereby he must find answers to questions that are not his own for people who are ruthless in their use of others.he is about to find that in a world where regeneration and degeneration vie for supremisy he is led along a path that will teach him that sokmeone doent have to know you to hate you and that there are always those who can take almost anything from you, even though they neither want it or desire it. He finds that friends can be found in unexpected places, but so can enemies. This story is as much about what we don't know as it is about what we do know, and it is as much about what we become as it is about what we remain.
