Abstract:
Paul meets Dargell Stumper, rich, young, homosexual. Stumper fakes supporting Paul’s computer to gain complete affection of his newly-found paramour.

Gioppo begins corporate warfare with three cronies, Gordon Keith, Mike Corwin, Charlie Simminski, who “cooks the books”.

Don Mueller, Paul’s supervisor, gets message that heads will be toppling if new computer, Spectra, is not killed.

Senior Executive Vice-President, Leonard Webster, makes plans to become the “master of the universe”. Vicki Sandford gathers information on the battle.

The Rees-designed wafer gains ground. Gioppo’s crew tries to bury the Spectra. Ulcer time at National Computer Corporation. The Stumper/Rees affair blossoms. Leonard Webster becomes the president. The playpen goes dark. The game continues.
