Kami Jin

In the 23rd Century, A. Gordon Sakata observes that the Republic of North America are treated as discards -- or as he describes it, "e;kami jin"e; (paper people)). With a national unemployment rate of 95%, people are losing their jobs daily due to artificial intelligence and robotics. He becomes a victim of automation, becoming homeless himself, works as a circus elephant caretaker. Eventually he is forced into a concentration camp when war breaks out and taken into the mountains to die. As a survivalist, he becomes enlightened on the mountain and develops answers to eradicating the world of poverty 1 and homelessness, rescued by his lovely extraterrestrial wife and transported to a distant utopian planet where he lives a heavenly new life as Emperor of Xychron. Eventually returns to Earth to save the oppressed and take them to a land of paradise.
