Brief candles
About this work
Describes the socialised horror of a futuristic utopia devoid of individual freedom. Human beings, graded from intellectuals to manual workers, are hatched from incubators and brought up in communal nurseries and learn by conditioning to accept their social destiny. The story develops around an unorthodox AlphaPlus, who visits a New Mexican Reservation and brings a savage back to London.
