A woman living in a future utopian society finds little satisfaction in having her heart's desire just for the asking. She begins to act out and falls under state scrutiny for fear that her disease of unhappiness will spread and put all civilization at risk.
I will be adding this to our grade 8 Utopia unit in which we read Lois Lowry's "The Giver", and watch "Logan's Run" and "Fahrenheit 451" to compare views of, and reactions to utopian societies.
