[Wikipedia Summary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Repent,_Harlequin!%22_Said_the_Ticktockman): |
||||||
|
The story is a satirical look at a dystopian future in which time is strictly |
||||||
|
regulated and everyone must do everything according to an extremely precise |
||||||
|
time schedule. |

For a short story, with the content coming out of order -- on purpose: the |
||||||
|
author points "I'll first tell you the middle, then the start, and |
||||||
|
the end. Here is the middle" and then "Here is how this begins" -- there are |
||||||
|
some pretty good points here. For example, the fact that we run so much worried |
||||||
|
about being late, and having a time for everything, that the government makes a |
||||||
|
department to make sure things work in precise time for maximal efficiency. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Out of that, it is a pretty crazy story. Good, making sense, but crazy, |
||||||
|
nonetheless.Good, making sense, but crazy, nonetheless.Good, making sense, but |
