To prevent Sleepers from going rogue, the corporations implement what's called planned obsolescence: Without regular doses of stabilizer drugs, sleeper frames actively decay and shut down, disincentivizing going rogue or escaping. The largest operator of Sleepers is Essen-Arp, a huge interstellar conglomerate. After their brain is scanned, the scan is loaded into a corporate-owned frame, creating a sentient being that simultaneously has very few legal rights and is treated with even less compassion by the corps. The Sleeper is the main character in Citizen Sleeper.Ī Sleeper is a peculiar creation of modern capitalism, a robotic body running an emulated human mind, based on a scan taken from a living human. Yellow and Black Sleeper's bodies are tools for Essen-Arp they are used up until they are destroyed.
