Annotation

Children’s flawed utopia. A reader designed for beginners set in the underground Eden City, where everyone has a number, is under twenty-five, and the law requires that everyone be very happy. As a test of his suitability for leadership, one man is introduced to the contrasting real world of dirt, aging, and poverty. While it is not explained, at twenty-five everyone enters the Long Dream, although the last line of the text suggests it may be yet another world.
