A eutopia on the moon focusing on individualized education which also indicates flaws in the system. For example, there are not enough teachers so that contracts are arranged years before the birth of the child. The teachers are physically the same age as the child and age with them and then revert to an earlier age for the next child. Teachers teach sex. Computerized justice. The \"Beatnik Bayou\" is a small space recreated as a 1950s Louisiana bayou.
