It is the year 25 A. G. Universal Government now regulates every facet of every person's daily living from conception to death. This is done by a team of specialists in every field and electronically monitored 24 hours a day for any deviations from what is defined as the """"norm."""" But, Murphy's Law is proven once again. One man and one woman manage to bite the apple without being detected until the sin had been accomplished. When discovered-they were required to plead their own defense while the entire world tuned in. Their thoughts, while listening, were all fed into CAM, the Supreme Computer. Upon the termination of their defenses, CAM orders all computers to self destruct immediately. Men and women would then revert to human contact without government regulation thus allowing their God given love to return as the regulator of their lives. And I quote, """"When man changes the love of power for the power of love, peace will reign."""" | Pendulum by Joan Watson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
