A Satirical Sci-Fi Comedy of Space Debris, Consumer Waste, and Cosmic Disasters
In a dystopian future where consumerism has choked Earth's orbit with centuries of accumulated space garbage, the discarded debris coalesces into a massive, planet-killing "trash comet." Named "Sidney's Comet" after Sidney Malloy—an awkward, mid-level office clerk at a massive consumer conglomerate—the junk comet enters a collision course with Earth.
Mistakenly thrust into leadership by corporate executives seeking a scapegoat, Sidney finds himself directing humanity's defense against the falling garbage. Navigating corporate bureaucracy, bizarre consumer products, and space patrol incompetence, Sidney races to deflect the trash comet before impact.
