Software runs our world. It doesn’t rule our lives

The Systems are Human

Sandport isn't just another line on a spreadsheet. It's a English port town full of people whose lives depend on their work, no matter how difficult or distasteful they find it.

Chrissie knows that she has a struggle on her hands from the moment the plane touches down. The town is in decline, the local workforce is aging, expensive and will likely oppose her plan every step of the way.

Set on the Kentish coast, Human Software explores relationship between work and home, the inevitable progress of technology and the choices people face when the world around them begin to change.
