"In the not-too-distant future, the world is ruled by a male scientific elite. Eugenics has triumphed in this fertility dystopia; from adolescence, women are either made into ‘vocational mothers,’ or, if they have no interest in motherhood, they are sterilized by the government and become ‘neuters.’ The story introduces a young woman who rebels against this system, and a young man who resists the ‘happy’ norm - a resistance which culminates, like the Savage's in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, in suicide.” #73729
