ROUGH DJshelf wear Earth is afflicted by a recurring cycle of violent unrest by the younger population planetwide as they see the "farce" of life as it is lived. What to do about this worsening wave of radical violence is the major item under consideration by the world government. In particular, there is a proposal to create a separate area of land for all those who are violent or prone to violence The telepaths get involved in encouraging this approach; however, there is deadly opposition to forcibly, if necessary, separating out those prone to acts of extreme violence and destruction. The author vividly describes what "life" looks like in 2090, including social relationships; and, engages us in the drama as a decision is soon to be made. In particular, we are given a good look into the depths and ethics of telepathy; the impact upon telepaths; and, an unspecified consciousness or intelligence beyond where even telepaths can go.
