Excerpt from A Diversity of Creatures
The A.B.C., that semi-elected, semi-nominated body of a few score persons, controls the Planet. Transportation is Civilisation, our motto runs. Theoretically we do what we please, so long as we do not interfere with the traffic and all it implies. Practically, the A.B.C. confirms or annuls all international arrangements, and, to judge from its last report, finds our tolerant, humorous, lazy little Planet only too ready to shift the whole burden of public administration on its shoulders.
'With the Night Mail.'
Isn't it almost time that our Planet took some interest in the proceedings of the Aerial Board of Control? One knows that easy communications nowadays, and lack of privacy in the past, have killed all curiosity among mankind, but as the Board's Official Reporter I am bound to tell my tale.
At 9.30 A.M., August 26, A.D. 2065, the Board, sitting in London, was informed by De Forest that the District of Northern Illinois had riotously cut itself out of all systems and would remain disconnected till the Board should take over and administer it direct.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the remarkable journey of the Aerial Board of Control (ABC), an organization tasked with maintaining order and civilization on a planet scarred by the haunting memories of 'Crowds' and the horrors they brought. As the ABC investigates a sudden secession by the district of Northern Illinois, they uncover a hidden rebellion against their authority. The citizens of Illinois, driven by a deep-seated fear of privacy invasion, have retreated into isolation, embracing archaic practices and rejecting the technological advancements that define the rest of the planet. The book delves into the complex dynamics of human nature, exploring the tension between individual liberty and the necessity of collective responsibility. Through the eyes of the ABC members, the author examines the fragility of peace, the corrosive power of fear, and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to challenge the status quo. Ultimately, this book serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked populism and the importance of finding a balance between order and freedom in the pursuit of a truly civilized society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331482970_0
