Synopsis
Linda Greyson was just another victim of the Gig Economy. Jumping from job to job, unable to pay her bills, struggling to survive. Until one day she discovers StellarGigs, a tech startup promising steady, high-paying gig work with benefits, and a huge signing bonus. Now she's stuck working for the universe's largest employment conglomerate, where quotas are law, coworkers are replaceable, and five-star ratings are regarded as myth. As Linda fights to survive one absurd assignment after another, she uncovers the sinister system behind StellarGigs' smiling façade, and learns that the only way to quit may be to take the whole company down.
