Synopsis: IT IS THE FUTURE. The year is 2173. Populations on every continent are expanding at alarming rates. Childbirth is thought of as an epidemic or plague. Society appears to be in the early hours of doomsday. Crushed like sardines into towering communal apartments, people are controlled by the Thought Police, whose main weapons are the Mediums, telepathic individuals who can recognize and pinpoint any rebellious thought which might tend to diminish the power of the State. But Roger Barclay has no thought of rebellion. He is simply one unremarkable mortal among millions of others, all of whom are living a life of unspeakable, shrinking containment. So why do his wife and new-born daughter disappear from the maternity hospital? And why do his desperate inquiries meet with a series of lies? It is this which drives him towards the followers of one Cornelius Gunn, the mysterious leader of a group of dissidents.... and a soul-shattering confrontation with the future.
