An apparent eutopia (no war, no gender or racial discrimination) is in fact an authoritarian dystopia. The bureaucracy manipulates the apparent direct democracy, mates people to produce the “right” offspring, and uses drugs as a means of social control. Those who don’t fit in are brainwashed or sterilized. The novel focuses on the struggle to reform it.
