The story

In Lapland, playboy physicist Jerry Cornelius attends the funeral of his father, a Nobel Prize–winning scientist who has developed the "Final Programme"—a design for a perfect, self-replicating human being. He is questioned by Dr Smiles, who wants to retrieve microfilm which he knows is in the Cornelius family home in England. Cornelius, a conspicuous counter-culture dandy with a fondness for chocolate biscuits and alcohol, threatens to blow up the family house.
