Grey Sun - Robert Franklin

"Grey Sun" is one of the most, if not the most well-known published "Daybook of the 80 percent". Written around 2900, it gives horrendous insights into the everyday life of workers at a planet-sized metal brushing facility, built to enhance minerals and metals later used in VC transportation vehicles.

What makes this Daybook special is that it was written in a time period where digital communication between the lower 80 percent was an unspeakable rarity.

Excerpt
"White armor, white gloves, white helmets, visors made with Alomnjum-alloy, one of the very metals we produce. This is all that can be said about their presence, other than the fact that they scare the living death out of everybody I know, despite them never having said a word nor laid hands on anyone of us."
