Annotation

A political satire that includes a potentially authoritarian government that starts a war at the request of the U.S. The Head of Security believes that everyone is a security risk. A girl who becomes a virgin again after each of many rapes becomes the center of national worship. Ends with a spontaneously arising eutopia that may presage a better future in which all share with each other. Much farce.
