Flawed utopia. A new ice age forces people to develop a new society underground where the heat of the earth's core is balanced by the ice above. Almost all travel stops, and there is no communication among cities. Industry, which is mostly for the production of food, is separate from housing. The little work needed is distributed equally. No money. Population kept balanced. No marriage. No crime. Unrest results from the monotony of life and rules become necessary.
