| Annotation | Satire. Describes the State of Inadvertaby in which the people have reoriented their lives around projects, some of which are nonsensical, like a focus on understanding fish or training red heads as head measurers. Other projects, like "the germ-free delivery of absolutely tasteless milk" and "the powdered beer plant" (61) are clearly designed as satires on too much government regulation. |
