Resumen

Undercover using the assumed name and identity Ivan Johnson, a reporter for Figaro-Pravda, secret agent Lemmy Caution has been dispatched from the Outer Countries and has just arrived in Alphaville, located on the other side of the galaxy. He has two contact sheets for the people he has been sent to locate. One is Henri Dickson, another agent who may have gone rogue in he not having reported back since his arrival in Alphaville. The other is Professor Léonard von Braun who Dickson was supposed to locate. Caution can see the odd behavior of the people he encounters in they all having a somewhat cold, emotionless demeanor, even the women whose sole job seems to be to seduce male visitors to Alphaville. "They" have sent Natacha von Braun to be his guide, she claiming to be the daughter of Professor von Braun, although she further claims that she has never met him and does not know his whereabouts. Caution will learn that he finding Dickson and von Braun are connected, with everything tied to Alpha 60, the supercomputer developed by the Professor, it which controls everything in Alphaville based on what it considers logical. In that logic, there is no past and no future, only a present as that present is dictated by that logic. Also, certain concepts, mostly emotions, and their associated terms are erased from public consciousness, including feelings of love. As such, Caution goes on a related mission to destroy Alpha 60 in its dystopian control over its populace.—Huggo
