Todd Adamentius is a seventeen-year-old who views the world with cold, analytical disinterest. On the massive Fullerton acreage, he is invincible—a Sovereign of soil and machinery who has no time for the "insects" that clutter his life. But in a world where everything is scaled by a factor of 250, even a simple harvest is a monumental task of endurance. The story follows Todd’s life on the farm as he prepares for the annual trek to Genoa. It’s a 3,750-mile journey that must be made once per season to settle accounts and move grain, and for Todd, it is a logistical nightmare. He isn't traveling alone; he is burdened with two farmhands who test his short temper at every turn. Ronaldo is a high-strung stickler for 1983 procedure who can’t make a move without checking a manual, and Sadie is a clumsy variable whose accidents threaten to stall their progress before they even leave the driveway. This is a slice-of-life story about the friction between a high-density mind and the mundane redundancy of a fragmented world. Between the endless rows of crops and the thousands of identical municipal buildings, Todd must navigate the frustrations of labor, the incompetence of his peers, and the daily struggle to maintain his cold composure in a world that is simply too big for its own good.
