About
Meet Atlas: a two-tonne hunk of metal programmed solely to chop trees. The year is 2090: most labour-intensive jobs have been efficiently mechanized by robots, and in Atlas’ case, wood logging. However, being a robot tasked solely as a lumberjack is no easy feat. Being one of the first of its kind, there are a few bumps in the system; despite his seemingly large build and powerful tools, he still finds himself in unfortunate scenarios that lead to his death. Never fear though as luckily for Atlas, his programming is uploaded to The Cloud, snapping back to normal in an instant. Until there is a problem with the system...
