A new Shaker sect called The United Society of Believers (Revived) has more than 100,000 members after only four years, most under eighteen years old and very few \"feebies\" (those over 30) are accepted. The basic creed is the \"Four Noes\"--\"No hate, No war, No money, No sex\". They establish a rock band that is immensely popular. The setting for the revival is a world with heavy drug use and emphasis on sexual and other gratification. Full time consumers belonged to the \"Contract Consumer Corps\", and producers are considered lower class. All African Americans live in ghettos, and there is a wall around Harlem. The Shakers, or the United Society of Believers in Christ\&$\#$39;s Second Appearing were a religious group practicing celibacy that originated in England in the eighteenth century and established a number of communities in the U.S.
