Iron Curtain Call

In 1965 humanity has run out of soldiers, so the war is fought with wind-up robots and managed by an automated service that keeps every complaint on hold. Corporal Punishment, a silent soldier and the only one Allied Command could afford to send, arrives in the ruined town of Rubbleton with Colonel Panic on the radio and the Supreme Chancellor on every loudspeaker. From there his campaign leads through a toy factory, a television station, a rigged election, a frozen capital and beyond, each run by a boss who has turned the war into a business, a broadcast or a sales pitch.
