The story begins in a regimented New York City in which there is no rain because it has been diverted to where it will fill a reservoir. Any \“Suggestion\” of the City-State Council is, in effect, law. Children are grown in a laboratory from the egg and sperm of the parents because the Council \“suggests\” that parents don\’t do it the old way. The focus of the story is a couples\’ resistance to the entire system and their desire to escape to the outside.
