ULTIMATE SATISFACTION GUARANTEED follows a travelling couple, Jo and an unnamed narrator, who spend nights in their campervan while touring towns to fulfil bespoke technology orders. Their business supplies cars fitted with "Genuine People Personalities" (GPPs): advanced SIM cards that secure vehicles by voice recognition and, increasingly, provide spoken feedback modelled on human personalities. At the start of the story, the couple review upcoming appointments, including a return to Pallisade Avenue, a location that triggers the narrator's memories of his very first, formative assignment.
