The protagonist is a man who has lived in space, which is a libertarian utopian with “customs” rather than laws where the words “taxer” and “government” are profane (198-199), who, looking for “freedom from choice,” decides to “self-banish” to a planet where he assumes a government will make choices for him.

But, as it turns out, most people simply ignore the results they don’t agree with.
