In the remote Alberta oilsands, the future arrives on driverless trucks—machines that never tire, never falter, and never care. For the men and women who’ve spent their lives in the mine, it feels like erasure.
Jake knows loss more than most. Grief has shadowed him for years, but when automation threatens to strip away the last meaning he holds, this time he fights back.
Beside him are Kyle, young and idealistic; Maria, a mother determined to secure a future for her daughter; and Ed, a seasoned operator unwilling to walk away quietly. Together they confront not only the machines, but the corporate power driving them forward.
No Operator on Pushback is a gripping story of courage, resilience, and defiance—a battle between people and the cold advance of technology.
