    Summary

    In 2166, you can erase your mind for a paycheck.

    In the 22nd century, a person down on their luck can go to their local Helping Hands Recruitment Center and apply to be a Hand. Their memories, personality, and will are wiped or suppressed, making them susceptible to suggestion. These Hands make the perfect workers; everything from fast-food servers to child caretakers. Since their invention, Hands have lowered crime rates, increased productivity in
    every field, allowed jobs to stay open that were headed toward automation, and give people and their families a steady paycheck.
    But a rise in protests and rallies against Helping Hands Inc. has raised certain questions.

    Do we have the right to erase human beings?
    Are Hands even human?
    What are our responsibilities when we know something is unjust?
