|
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.</p> |

★★★★☆ |

</div> |
|
<p>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.</p> |
|
<p>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 |
|
crazy, nonetheless.</p> |
