Flawed utopia. A city, probably an enlarged Toronto and enlarged Montréal combined, is under a great dome with a germ and virus-free environment and people no longer leaving the city. Little crime or violence. Behind the façade there had been nuclear war and the dome is actually a spaceship; the news of the world outside is manufactured; even though people vote, there is no national government; the Prime Minister is an actor; and Canada is a fiction. |
