Flawed utopia. Rational, egalitarian eutopia that has gone too far and rejected emotion. Stress on technology, health, and cleanliness. Hospitalization for drunkenness and illiteracy; police are also physicians. Intellectual women, who are all narrow-hipped, rejected child-bearing; men show an atavistic tendency to prefer unintellectual women, imported from outside, who will bear children.
