About This Book

The story presents a near-future society where a centralized points system has replaced money and citizens must keep daily balances under surveillance by a Machine. A young man falls deeply into debit and briefly flees officials, then becomes entangled in a public extortion when an ostensibly injured old woman compels him to sign away thousands of points. As he confronts the bewildering rituals of auditing and the empty commercial landscape, he meets the woman who offers a patient explanation of how the system operates. Themes include the hollow freedom from work, bureaucracy's control of life, and individual helplessness within automated administration.
