'The Magic Robot' traverses a digital landscape of co-workspaces, crypto mines, experimental feedlots and gated communities.

Exhausted from relentless content moderation, he takes a sabbatical in order to find his true 'self'.

Wandering off grid, and running low on charge, he finds little help from 'good people', but is eventually taken in by 'US', a crypto-conglomerate with a labour relations problem.

US wish to replace their robot workforce with 'Q-Men', a race of bio-engineered hybrids, but need an agent provocateur to engineer a mass layoff.

After a spell as an undercover operative, he decides to pursue an artistic career, becoming an instant hit with the smart set. The scale of his ambition turns out to be his undoing, as he becomes an unwitting weapons designer, ultimately responsible for the death of the Q-Men.

Wracked with guilt, he turns to natural science for solace, but is still visited by hallucinations.

Advised that he must return to his fabricator for factory reset, he embarks on a final voyage into the Forbidden Zone.
