This Perfect Day
Levin Ira
The story is set in a
seemingly perfect global society. Uniformity is the defining feature;
there is only one language and all ethnic groups have been eugenically
merged into one race called “The Family.” The world is ruled by a
central computer called UniComp that has been programmed to keep every
single human on the surface of the earth in check. People are
continually drugged by means of regular injections so that they will
remain satisfied and cooperative. They are told where to live, when to
eat, whom to marry, when to reproduce. Even the basic facts of nature
are subject to the UniComp’s will—men do not grow facial hair, women do
not develop breasts, and it only rains at night.
