Earth, 2200:  East and West had merged, at last, so there were no more wars, no more political differences.  Citizens everyehwere could concentrate on working  off their tax debts.  If you were capable and industrious, you might make freeman status for the last few years of your life.  No-one questioned. No-one spoke out. No-one rebelled until one bright morning, Citizen TRH-247 decided not to go to work – and worse than that, became desirous of a girl below his own classification.  Thus he made himself an outcast, with the whole world against him.  Survival depended on his wits, daring and strength.
