Plot:
Miles Monroe, a timid and neurotic owner of a health food store in 1973, finds himself cryogenically frozen for 200 years due to a botched surgery. He wakes up in a completely different world: the Earth is ruled by a totalitarian regime, robots serve humans, and technology has reached unimaginable levels.
Disoriented and confused, Miles pretends to be a robot to avoid being discovered. He joins a group of rebels fighting against the government and falls in love with Luna Schlosser, a beautiful and idealistic revolutionary. Together, Miles and Luna find themselves embroiled in a wild adventure to overthrow the regime and liberate humanity.
