This Perfect Day

1991

by Ira Levin

This Perfect Day is set in a seemingly perfect global society where uniformity is the defining feature. There is only one language, and all ethnic groups have been eugenically merged into one race called "The Family." The world is ruled by a central computer called UniComp, programmed to keep every human in check.

People are continually drugged through regular injections to ensure they remain satisfied and cooperative. They are told where to live, when to eat, whom to marry, and when to reproduce. Even the basic facts of nature are subject to UniComp’s will—men do not grow facial hair, women do not develop breasts, and it only rains at night.

Follow Chip as he embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim his true self and challenge Uni’s rule in this thrilling tale of free will versus control.
