About This Book

In a future society that supplies every comfort, a citizen who has applied for a Departure Permit spends his last night wandering uniform streets and public parks, restless under a pall of enforced perfection. He confronts ritualized social customs — pervasive scent, choreographed dating, legal fighting to enforce possessive protection, and stark distinctions between ordinary citizens and those granted special longevity — while attempting to win a protected woman's company. The episode sketches personal boredom, social conformity, and small acts of defiance within a meticulously managed, monotonous world.
