Ersatzes exist in a world where universal peace, pop-ulation control and boredom drove people to the edge of vio-lence. The Ersatz was the ideal solution to such social rage!
Angry at your bosstake it out on your ersatz. That's what they are for!
Nagged by your wifewhack your ersatz instead of her!
Have a husband who is cheating on youblow your ersatz's head off!
That's what they were made for! And there was an endless supply of these android creatures! Even in an over-populated world. Ersatzes could be recycled! Mindless, soul-less inventions of human science, they were the ultimate so-lution to man's problems.
Only the National Organization FREE spoke to change things. FREE = For Rising Ersatz Equality!
Only FREE was mad enough to believe that ersatzes might offer much more to its masters than simply an outlet for its violent nature.
It was a losing cause, until
Benny arrived!
