The Anarchistic Colossus
The Anarchistic Colossus takes place in a future Earth where anarchy has become a way of life - it is, however, a very special brand of anarchy, one that is controlled by the mysterious Kirlian computers - and one that must deal with a race of aliens who look upon the conquest of Earth as part of a very entertaining game.
