"Hank Shapiro, is a pickup artist, a government agent who gathers for retirement creative works whose time has come and gone. There's simply not enough room in the world for all the art, so anything past a certain age must be cataloged, archived in the records, and destroyed, paving the way for new art."--Jacket.
