Blurb: Sleepless Society!
IN A WORLD WHERE NOBODY SLEEPS
it is indecent even to ask for a bed in a shop - you're supposed to make a discreet enquiry for an inflatable air mattress - at the drug-store, naturally.
This is just one very minor outcome of "Sta-Wake', a miracle drug in a miracle world where the Government unobtrusively guides the populace to Better Harmony by matching Personality Quotients (for couples who
want to get married), and in Government Rest Homes (for people who want to quarrel), plus a host of other tactfulaids to a miraculously happy life.
Until 'Sta-Wake', sponsored by the Government, hits the market - and the ordered, emancipated, well-adjusted world of Better Harmony explodes like eggs hurled into an electric fan.
