Read more Taking the guesswork out of menial tasks was intended to create leisure time, but instead robots have made society dependent and passive.ĭesmond loathes robots and goes out of his way to avoid them. Now robots run everything from cars to coffee pots. Meatworks is set in a bleak near-future where cell phone and personal computer technologies never developed. Unfortunately, Desmond hasn’t quite severed ties with his ex-boyfriend, and Corey isn’t known for his maturity or patience. He expects nothing more than stale cookies, tepid decaf and a bunch of self-pitying sob stories, so he’s blindsided when a fellow amputee catches his eye.Ĭorey Steiner is a hot young rudeboy who works his robotic limb like an extension of his own body, and he’s smitten by Desmond’s crusty punk rock charm from the get-go. Social Services seems determined to try and stop him from wallowing in his own filth, so he’s forced to attend an amputee support group. He spends his time drowning his sorrows in vodka while he deliberately blows off the training that would help him master his new prosthetic. If he was an underachiever before, he’s entirely useless now that he’s lost his right hand. Desmond Poole is damaged in more ways than one.
