In this seemingly utopian society, free from war and want, every aspect of human existence is meticulously planned and calibrated for efficiency by Uni, which guides the lives of each member of the Family--the eugenically-merged human race, who share a single language and religion, yet live under constant chemical conditioning and behavioral monitoring--long unaware that their sustenance comes at the expense of all individuality and autonomy. When Chip begins to question Unis benevolence, he embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim his true self, and challenge Unis rule.Its predictions already proving unnervingly on target, This Perfect Day is a thought-provoking exploration of free will, and of who ultimately holds the reins of power.
