The Mediator Pattern by J.D. Lee
A simple patent purchase in the 1950’s results in the modern day corporate city, Belisco-San Jose. The city boasts all of Belisco’s latest breakthrough technology, such as the fax machine, the electric typewriter and the tri-ox system transport vehicle. With innovations abound, San Jose is a modern day Utopia complete with 24-hour shopping, smoking and non-smoking zones, guaranteed food, work, income, and reliable, clean transportation. All provided by Belisco.
But things are not entirely as they seem in San Jose. It is here that Marcus Metiline, a jaded, chain-smoking patent mediator, begins his trip down the rabbit hole. After taking a job with Belisco and meeting with a peculiar doctor beyond the zoned limits, his world begins to unravel. As he searches for answers to the increasingly strange events around him, Marcus finds that the fate of the world rests with him.
He’s been told exactly what he needs to do to save them all… But is something bigger guiding him?
