Based on Kurt Vonnegut's first novel of the same name, 'Player Piano' is a darkly comic look at an alternate 1950s in which mechanization has made human labor obsolete – forcing a widening divide between the bored, suddenly-useless populace and the handful of office managers who keep the machines running. Dr. Paul Proteus, an up-and-coming executive at the Federal Apparatus Corporation, finds his life imploding – or perhaps he’s just beginning to see things clearly. Will he rise to the top of a company that makes people worthless? Or rebel against the system for the sake of all humankind?
