The novel is set in a future United States under the PACT (Preserving American Values Act) that \“Outlaws promotion of un-American values and behaviour. Requires all citizens to report potential threats to our society. Protects children from environments espousing harmful views\” (21). Systematically removing books from libraries, removing children from their parents, and incarcerating anyone with a view the regime dislike are among the methods used to enforce the law. China is blamed for almost everything. The story is told from the point-of-view of a young boy whose mother, a poet, disappeared, and whose best friend is taken, and he searches for them and for his mother\’s books. An \“Author\’s Note\” (327-331) explains the origins and some of the influences and sources for the novel.

Flawed utopia. A past society had a highly developed, but authoritarian civilization with exceptional art and science . Explicitly racist and with a focus on eugenics, although the author of the Postscript in the Capricorn edition argues that the book is a warning against such thinking rather than supporting it. The argument is, essentially, that Cox is presenting the Eugenic Utopia as it would develop, which later became the goal of Nazi Germany, but that Cox intended it to be read as a dystopia. No direct evidence is presented, but it is a plausible interpretation. Survivors who had been put in suspended animation are discovered, which is initially perceived positively, but they are found to have no concern at all for humans, who they consider to be the lower beings.
